yes they signed the MOU i agree with that. But they are waiting for detailed report of this project. I am not sure if the design has been completed or not but yes MOU was signed but the construction work for this project can't be started for another 2 years or so.

pakistan will get wat it needs and the rest will go to china..... problem solved.

china already gives a different visa to people of IOK. have they lost indian market?? lolzzz
going by all the news, china helped pakistan in making nuclear bomb. have they lost indian market?
china helped pakistan build a railway track in kashmir..... have they lost inidan market?
china helped pakistan build karakorum highway. have they lost indian market??

now trade is not everything. come out of this illusion. US has pretty much dumped india in afghanista, have they lost indian market?? in trade both countries depend on each other to some extent and therefore the net effect is zero. ask yourself a simple question. can you really afford american companies to pull out of india? a sane person would say no.


as far this news is concerned, its still not clear. is china interested in taking the pipeline to china or only helping in its construction.

sorry u r badly mistaken.... i don't want to get personal... if u have any valid point in ur arguments favor then post it.

 

[xenia]

ye i agree... but till it reaches to indian territory its cost becomes very large....
Secondly india is not agreeing at the cost at which it will be provided to india..

ironic enough!TAPI doesnt get costly as it reaches india although afghanistan is from being stable.. coz US is behind the project n india backed from the project --- the lure of US-india nuclear deal is too much!! the cost is uncle sam's disapproval

I wish Pakistan buy electricity up 5000 MW from Iran too and China can help in creating infrastructure of it.

Cheap electricty for hit hard poor people or US happiness , well its Islamabad to decide.

China is showing keen interest in investing $2.5 billion in Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline project in order to meet the country's energy demands.

Islamabad has started negotiations with Beijing over the purchase of technical equipment to be used for extending the gas pipeline to China, Mehr News Agency quoted informed sources in Pakistan's oil ministry as saying.

China's interest in the extension of the pipeline came after Islamabad's reluctance to cooperate with New Delhi on the Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) project allegedly due to India's delay in developing the Peace Pipeline project.

Based on the incoming reports, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said it was possible to change the name of the project from Iran-Pakistan-India to Iran-Pakistan-China project.

The Pakistani foreign minister said Islamabad always welcomed New Delhi's presence in the project but ruled any further chance for India to delay its presence in IPI plans, the reports suggest.

Islamabad made a significant effort to involve Beijing after India declined to attend Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project.

The initial agreement of the project was signed in Tehran in May 2009 between Iran and Pakistan.

Around 1,100 kilometers of the pipeline would be built in Iran and Pakistan will receive 750 million cubic feet of natural gas per day from Iran through the pipeline, as part of a 25-year deal.

Told you so:

The Hindu : News / National : Deora: ready to talk to Iran, Pakistan on pipeline project

New Delhi has announced its readiness to hold talks with both Islamabad and Tehran on putting back on the rails the $8-billion Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project provided both nations are ready to address its security concerns.

Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Murli Deora, who is attending a two-day, 12th International Energy Forum meeting which began here on Tuesday, told journalists: “I am ready to hold talks with both Iran and Pakistan representatives here in Cancun. We need certain assurances on supply of gas and also on the point of delivery from Iran. We have proposed trilateral talks in Tehran in May and are now waiting for a response from Iran. We are going to approach the issue with an open mind. We are for building of a pipeline but India's concerns have to be addressed for the long-term viability of the project.”

Pricing issue

India also had concerns over pricing of the gas from Iran and these issues needed to be sorted out first. “We are under pressure from no country or individual not to proceed with the project,” the Minister said in response to a question whether India was under U.S. pressure.

Surge in militancy

India's security concern arises from the fact that the pipeline will pass through the volatile Balochistan region. The surge in militancy in Pakistan has fuelled India's security apprehensions over the project. Senior officials in the government have indicated that the project will be discussed at the next meeting of the India-Iran joint working group (JWG).

The pipeline will carry 750 million cubic feet of natural gas from Iran's vast resources to Pakistan by mid-2015.

that is because India wouldn't want china to join to project at any cost

But i would still say........ don't accept the offer now........... Its too late... who knows if india will waste another 1-2 years and back off again? they have done that in past too

I guess Iran will have a larger say to accept or reject the offer.. Just selling to Pak will not be too profitable forIran
