India agrees to terms on IPI, Iran says - UPI.com

TEHRAN, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- New Delhi agreed to take custody of Iranian gas from the Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline at the Pakistani border with India, Iranian officials said Wednesday.

Mehdi Nabizade, the Iranian envoy to New Delhi, told the Iranian Students' News Agency that agreements on the IPI project are moving forward following a round of bilateral talks in India.

"Iran has announced its initial and general agreement in regard to delivery of gas on the Pakistan-India border and work groups must study the details and its delivery place so that the sides can reach an agreement," he said.

Iran is eager to move ahead with the long-delayed IPI project from the South Pars gas field. Tehran and Islamabad agreed on a comprehensive deal for the pipeline earlier this year, though New Delhi's role remained in doubt.

New Delhi said it would join IPI provided security along the pipeline route in Pakistan was guaranteed. It also asked to receive the gas from Iran on the Pakistani border only if Iran made pledges on gas flows to India.

The Indian envoy added Tehran was willing to offer 20 percent of the gas from Phase 12 of the South Pars field to India's Oil and Natural Gas Corp.

Pakistani officials are scheduled to meet their Iranian counterparts next week in Tehran, and a trilateral meeting on IPI is in the works, the ISNA report said.

I concur but what does IND actually want?

India just want some LNG for her future requirements.... whether joining it or not.. all her internal matters.. there is no intention for blocking anyone's needs whether it is Pakistan or China.. But you can sure see that some(not all) desperate Pakistani's roaring China.. China..

 

[Awesome]

I concur but what does IND actually want?

To delay it as much as it can and harm Pakistan in the process.

How can it be delayed??Iran stated that it will work on the pipline with Pakistan even if India didnt join and also whats the relevance of India joining pipeline with Iran-Pakistan pipeline??We are not situated between you..You are their immediate neighbours..Its just a whining to cover up the imcompetence of your Governent to go through with the proposed pipeline between your country and Iran

Hi.. Its a process completed via block by block construction. India can't stop any work doing in Pakistan.

Obviously there is rework necessary in regards to project planning, project costs, stakeholder buy in and not to mention the capacity of the base facility that will be serving the gas.

Each time India shows the carrot Iran starts to rework on the project.

Pakistan is however trying to making this project modular and trying work out a project plan where India's joining in would be inconsequential to the project.

I like the fact the new deal requires India to pay for gas received at Indo-Pak border rather than Iran-Pakistan border. Cool, good going Indians!

We know these pipelines would be exploded on a routine basis in Pakistan. It would have been a rip off if we had gone with the earlier deal.

Blowing hot and cold to drag on.

Iqrar bhi mushkil ha inkar bhi mushkil ha

i guess pakistan will loose its transit fee from india-since india is buying the gas at the pak-india border directly from iran ...that means no transit fee......this is one of the advantages besides assurances of gas supply that iran will guarentee
