Iran's strategic port offer to help India bypass Pakistan

[knight11]

The North-South Corridor comprises the following three routes: Tajikistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan section (about 2,200km) via Shir Khan Bandar & Ai Khanum going to Turkam, Spin Buldak & Ghulam Khan; Uzbekistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan section (about 2,900km) via Hairatan going to Turkham, Spin Buldak & Ghulam Khan; Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan section (about 3,200km) via Aquina going to Turkham, Spin Buldak & Ghulam Khan.

The East-West Corridor comprises the following three routes: Tajikistan-Afghanistan-Iran section (about 2,800km) via Islam Qala or Zaranj going to Chabahar; Uzbekistan-Afghanistan- Iran section (about 3,200km) via Islam Qala or Zaranj going to Chabahar; Turkmanistan-Afghanistan- Iran section (about 2,600km) via Islam Qala or Zaranj going to Chabahar.

Kabul -Jalalabad-Torkham 224km on-going construction
Kabul–Gardiz 125km survey completed
Gardiz – Khost 105km design completed
Khost –Ghulam Khan 70km planned
Jalalabad–Asmar 130km Survey completed
Kandahar -Spin Boldak 104km (funded by ADB) completed by by end-2004. The first layer was completed by end of December 2003
Dileam–Zaranj 212km survey Completed
Haeat –Islamqala 120km completed
Heart-Torgundi 119km planned
Pulikhun –Sher Khan Bandar 169km on-going construction
Pulilhum–Hairtan 265km on-going construction

Ring-Road of 2,237km road now being constructed to connect most of the provinces to each other:
Kabul –Kandahar 485km completed
Kandahar–Herat 456km on-going construction
Herat–Andikoy 550km on-going construction
Pulikhun–Dushi 43km planned
Dushti–Kabul on-going construction

For all of the above-mentioned projects, several Indian firms are involved & it is for this reason that Indian consulates are located in Herat, Kandahar, Mazhar-e-Sharif & Jalalabad. Of course the buffoons in Pakistan won’t comprehend all this & therefore tend to jump to erroneous conclusions.

The Chabahar port is in the east of the Strait of Hormuz at the intersection of the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. It is 72km from Pakistan’s strategic port of Gwadar (under development by China) and 1,400km to Mumbai in India. Through Iran’s network of railways and highways, the port provides access to Afghanistan to the east and nearly all of Central Asia and the Caucasus to the north of Iranian plateau and, depending on the destination, it can cut the time it takes to transport products and goods by between third and fifth of what it presently takes. Iran has already constructed the route from Chabahar to Milak on the Iran-Afghanistan border, which passes through Iranshahr and Zahedan. From Milak, this route is connected to the Zaranj-Delaram highway. Most major road routes at the moment run from Chabahar to northern Iran close to the Afghanistan border and then enter Afghanistan (through either Zaranj in southwestern Afghanistan and then connect to Highway A77 to Kabul and Kandahar or through north western Herat province), Uzbekistan (via Afghanistan’s Herat province to Tashkent) and Tajikistan (via Turkmenistan). The construction of phase-1 of Chabahar port began in 2002 with $86 million in initial investment from a joint venture by two state-owned Indian port authorities: Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust and Kandla Port Trust. The two companies are investing a total of $300 million in the port’s construction. India’s first foreign port project, Chabahar carries high geo-strategic value for India—and increasingly for other Asian countries—as the port connects the Indian subcontinent to Afghanistan and Central Asia. A number of other initiatives are now in the process of completion. These include the Chabahar-Faranj-Bam railway, the rail link between Hajigak and Chabahar and the Chabahar-Zahedan-Mashhad rail link, which will be further extended to Herat and Mazar-e-Sharif and be finally connected with Termez in Uzbekistan. Once all this is completed in the near future, exploitation of rich mineral deposits in north and central Afghanistan, including Hajigak (iron ore mines in Bamiyan, (where India’s Iron and Steel Consortium has won mining rights), will commence.

Here’s the map showing the transportation corridors:

Did somebody tell the above gentleman another 'fact on the ground' - Indian trucks cannot go to Afghanistan from Islamabad. And even then we can't trust them jihadi pigs to not blow themselves against these trucks. Delusional LOSER.

Jihadi pigs or not but your own kind can blow anything, thanks God our roads will not be accommodating filth from our eastern border, delusional looser.

Hum india ko central asia tak pakistan ka rastey nahi jane dain gey

 

[ruby007]

Dont for gods sake embarass urself ,its very expensive route for india .and with the highway passing thru afghan talib held province nimroz, we can only wish u luck

Kid read carefully... i din't say anything about the entire transportation cost... I'm only talking about sea route.. which is safer and cheap than land route at the same time can be transportaed in a large quantity compared to land

 

[Fireurimagination]

Just as China will use Gwadar to reach Central Asia, India will use Chabahar. Pakistan has lost millions of dollars, business and considerable clout over India just because of it's ego that it won't provide India a transit route to Central Asia. I personally believe Chabahar is far better that transit route through Pakistan in the long run. yes we will have to invest considerable amount initially but at least it's stable, secure and cheaper

Indian grocery???

Chabahar will give India a direct access to Natural Gas reserves of Central Asian Republics especially Turkmenistan. Chabahar port will also facilitate a multi-modal transport link between Indian west coast ports and Russia via Astrakhan by a strategic partnership between India, Iran and Russia.

So we're talking energy and high value goods not vegetables!!

How about veg samosa....our most valuable goods

These roads and ports will work only for few decades, say 60 years. Jaidi says goods will be transported digitally. First transform them in 'Zero One' computer language and then reshape at the destination point. Initially it'll be done on non-living things. Like the way you send fax, graphics and sound files. Just a matter of time.

India does not needs to pass through your waters , even your recently extended EEZ , does not covers the southern parts of the , Indian oceans but , India's south cover much more of the south side of the Indian ocean , the route goes straight to Oman & Yemen & U.A.E , to go to gulf India can just go to it , by simply bypassing Pakistani EEZ even the new extended one & approach straight south to the waters of Oman straight to the water's of U.A.E to Iran

here is a map of EEZ take a look
the pink line i have extended Pakistan's EEZ as per the recent extension of its EEZ still it cannot effect India's route to Chabahar in Iran the blue line i have shown how India can completely bypass Pakistan's EEZ

Once again friendly neighbors helping Pakistan. What a lovely neighborhood.

Iran are champions of Islam, they will help all Muslims of the world because they are leaders. They will even help Muslims in Kashmir by bending over for India.
