India eager to join Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline: Iran official

[Edevelop]

Iran Oil Ministry spokesman says New Delhi is in talks with Tehran to join the multi-billion-dollar pipeline which Iran is building to export natural gas to the neighboring Pakistan.

“Since India has been motivated by Pakistan’s seriousness in building the [Iran-Pakistan] ‘peace pipeline’, New Delhi is negotiating to join the project,” Alireza Nikzad-Rahbar said.

The Iranian official added that there has been considerable progress in the Iran-Pakistan (IP) pipeline, with Iranian contractors starting work on the Pakistani section of the pipeline, after finishing nearly 900 kilometers of the pipeline on Iran soil.

In March, Indian Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas M. Veerappa Moily voiced his country’s willingness to join the pipeline project.

The pipeline will enable the export of 21.5 million cubic meters per day of Iranian natural gas to Pakistan.

The Pakistani government has stressed that it would go ahead with the construction of the gas pipeline despite threats and pressure from the U.S.

I thought IP did not include India. I don't like this development.

As long as we fetch money, sounds good to me. Let India become dependent on this. Tomorrow if things go wrong, Pakistan can stop supplying and starve them.

Yeah so they cut off water some more, Pakistan should just tell them to take a hike. They had their chance.

Not when there is an international law !

Indians are confused, first they refused, then they agreed, then they refused, then they agreed, then they withdrew, now they want back in.........and I am sure this is not the last time. It started as IPI (Iran-Pakistan-India) gas pipe line which is now reduced to IP, and it should remain as an IP now.

We were told specifically that India won't be a part. Pakistan and Iran don't see eye to eye on many fronts and this development again proves that. IP should reach Pakistan and if India wants it should buy from Pakistan.

Yeah because Pakistan did sooooo well the last time it took India to court.

If only it was so easy.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Waste, our own need will increase due to population in 10 years so we need all the supply for Pakistan

just because oil flows over ur land doesnt mean u own them the true owners will be iran and customers will be pak and india

For Pk it is, we have already established internationally that 'non-state actors' exits. Who knows they might get pissed and blow the pipeline going to India

I just pointed out that Pk can buy and resell to India (I don't care about profit, be it 0.05%). Pakistan was told India won't be a party to this and IP line went forward on this notion.

Are you so dumb that you don't understand what 'non state actors' mean? You don't have to sell me the idea I already think that IP is ok IPI is bad news.
