“The project will be implemented with the participation of Iranian, Pakistani and Indian firms,” said Novak.

The parties will work on the list of gas fields and prepare the necessary planning documentation. Construction is expected to start next year, according to the minister.

“This is a memorandum between the ministries. We have agreed to assist in the implementation of the project for gas supply from Iran to India. This is a large-scale project with Gazprom participation. The company will develop gas fields on Iranian soil with all the necessary infrastructure for gas supplies to India to be built,” Novak said.

Novak didn’t disclose how much it will cost but said it will be significant, as the pipeline will include an underwater part that will pass through the Persian Gulf.

Iran to regain its market share: oil production increased to 3.8mn bpd in recent monthshttps://t.co/ehZgevXoaI

Iran has been ramping up energy production to restore much of its lost market share since international sanctions were eased in 2015. However, decades of economic isolation and underinvestment left the country’s oil and gas infrastructure outdated.

International energy corporations took a chance to work in Iran with France's Total becoming the first to sign a deal to develop the country’s South Pars fields. The company estimated the initial investment at a billion dollars.

Royal Dutch Shell, Italy’s Eni, and Russia’s Rosneft are among more than 30 foreign companies that have qualified for oil and gas projects in Iran since sanctions were lifted.

American corporations are prohibited from working in the Islamic Republic except through foreign subsidiaries.

I do hope this become a reality. If only we can set aside our pity differences at least for this project. It is a win win situation for all.

I wonder if peace prevails in South Asia after solving Kashmiri issue, who would buy American military garbage equipment?

Peace is the worst news for Americans lol

Highly unlikely. So much politics, money involved in this pak-india rivalry that i hardly think it can resolve this easily. There is also hatred between two countries general population. Americans are sucker for money so yeah. I think this project just this one can move forward seeking russia is also involved now.

We will be taking transit fee. Of some sort of corridor tax what ever u wanna call on things going through that's international rules
But e an with that it would be most economical route for India energy import from Iran and central Asia

 

[Safriz]

Pipeline will not pass from Pakistani land, it will pass through Pakistani sea.
We all can imagine what will happen to it if passed through Pakistani land.

 

[ito]

Most likely India will ask for an underwater pipeline circumventing Pakistan. The main reason why the IPI was abandoned was because it passes Pakistan, and India fears that Pakistan can use the pipeline as weapon to control India's energy needs.

 

[AZ1]

Pakistan and india both wouldnt agree.to this.

Pakistan will only show its decision on this initiative once India commits to it.
Pakistan is not hungry for the transit fee.
Giving India access to the gulf gas market over its land is a wild card Pakistan will play on its terms just like India or any other state would do to secure its national interest .US sponsored TAPI is another project that will be its competitor.Ideally either both IPI and TAPI should go through Pakistan or NONE ...

India is one of those states that support Baloch separatists not covertly but OPENLY and an armed struggle in a region the pipeline wiould go through. Such a project will improve lives of a common Baloch, that makes Baluchistan a livable place for foreigners something that goes against the Indian designs (hint cpec/obor)and maybe thats why India hasn't shown much interest in IPI so far. I was actually dumbfounded how Iranians could ignore all this and esp. the open threats whirled for an independent Balochistan by its good buddy India and how Iran can tolerate something that can fuel secessionism on their side of the border due to its current actions.Then i found its all about business interests.Iran unfortunately chose to put its baloch people at stake for a billions of dollars worth deal with India and ignoring the Indian narrative as a 'scare-tactic' only for Pakistanis.

How can a third country force India to be part of a project something it has doubts ill-feelings for.The truth is India would only like to be a part of such projects TAPI and especially IPI once they are able to make Pakistan its lackey.Till then it will join to show its commitment and soon leave with one excuse or another , remember the IPI thing turning into just IP back in 2010.

No one in business is ashamed of his own share. What fk is about the hunger issue? It can be money or energy, it benefits Iran if Pak chooses energy. Easier to pay i mean

Agreed, Iran has negotiations with Turkmenistan too. TAPI is a good project too.
The problem is USA, actually USA wants to remove Iran desperately. Turkmenistan without Russia's deep cooperation cannot feed TAPI. It's USA's wet dream. Though i know Pakistan's relations with KSA will be an important case. Card card card, as if we are playing Qomar!!!!

India has no ideological influence in Balochistan my friend. India cannot have that kind of hot presence there, i have said many times, Israelis by the aid of their backdoor allies like UAE are funding separatists in Kurdistan- Balochistan hurting Iran, Turkey and Pakistan. Ask Turks they will tell you about.
India cannot have presence in Balochistan, don't fool yourself bud . Monarchs willingly or unwillingly have a mission of destabilizing our region under US-Israeli lead. It is your own choice to continue your blind policy towards those monarchs and hurt yourselves and Iranians. I emphasize India cannot make trouble in Balochistan

Than i found its all about business interests.Iran unfortunately chose to put its baloch people at stake for a billions of dollars worth deal with India and ignoring it as a 'scare-tactic' for Pakistanis.

I respect Pak's concerns. It can cause governmental collaboration, our president and FM are frequently visiting your governors. You are the one who is living in denial bud. I am not ashamed of offering my brotherly hands to my Muslim neighbor. Pakistan is denying anything good, please spare Iran. Iran is trying to negotiate with Pakistan during the past 12 years. Pakistan's obsessions with us which steams from gulf-monarchs, has alienited Pak amongst her neighbors. Take it a friendly complaint. BTW Iran hasn't been the ignorant guy in her relations with Pakistani side

 

[maximuswarrior]

No gas will pass through Pakistan to India. We won't feed a country that terrorizes innocent Kashmiris and sowns terror on our soil.

I meant to say the transit fees is the last thing in such matters ,many other aspects are taken to account other than money and trade.

Agreed, Iran has negotiations with Turkmenistan too. TAPI is a good project too.

Pakistan is actually the key player in success of TAPI and one of the leverages PAkistan has over US policy in AFghanistan is TAPI. If USA leaves India behind in AFG , TAPI can kiss bye bye. Saudis will have little say on this.

Totally disagreed there.Pakistan knows its region inside out. Just like Iran knows who is involved in their Baluchistan we know who is involved in our Baluchistan. India is one of the FEW countries invovled but is the main lead and i dont need to emphasize on this you can just do a quick google search and see what their ministers are saying on baluchistan. who gives asylum to their leaders in afghanistan , who is trying to form their overseas govt. , who runs their social media campaign and most importantly their role in the past.. The worst thing is your govt. knows it its aware of this and actually they were kind of worried when modi went retard in his independence speech but they have closed their eyes for a bigger benefit they see or maybe an ally they want to keep at the cost of balochi i people who were marginalized by their respective states in past. -what harm if they remain marginalized a bit more - is what they think.

if we start alienating each other on basis of who is close to whom, the world would stop workin. Iran can be India's best pal and we wouldnt care less , have all the trade you want with them even defense deals. ..but when you give them access to Baluchistan you are ignoring a neighbors sensitivity, a friend can visit your place party all he wants but the host has to make sure the guest doesnt become a nuisance for his neighbor...I also know a section in your govt. would have thought this port is good for afghan people so who cares about one neighbor when it helps the other neighbor..I dont know how they weigh in things or choose between neighbors but they could have just handled stuff in a neutral way like involving neutral countries . Iranian govt. is also watching the Indian economy and they will adapt accordingly, who knows new players enter in the Chabahar picture .One last thing Indians believe they can use the chabahar-Afghansitan route to transport US supplies in case Pakistan's route is closed. Of-course this can only happen if some sort of deal is there between US and Iran. There are many things which will get clearer in near future.
