KABUL: Officials from Turkmenistan will visit Kabul this week to discuss continuing work on the TAPI pipeline linking the energy-rich Central Asian country through Afghanistan to Pakistan and India, the Taliban government said on Wednesday.

The pipeline is expected to carry 33 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas each year along a route stretching 1,800 km (1,125 miles) from Galkynysh, the world’s second-biggest gas field, to the Indian city of Fazilka near the Pakistan border.

“We have been working hard for some time and we are ready to take pride in starting work on the TAPI project,” Mohammad Issa Akhund, the acting minister of mines and petroleum in the new Taliban government, said in a statement.

The Afghan stretch of the pipeline will run from the northwestern border with Turkmenistan, south through the western city of Herat to Kandahar near the border with Pakistan.


Akhund met the ambassador of Turkmenistan ahead of a two-day visit by a delegation from the country that will start from Saturday, the statement said.

Interesting development seems like India is supporting this and now seems to want to be friend with Kabul. It would be hilarious if IEA axe them from the deal but it was a pre-existing deal so the others involved won't allow it either. This is the second Pipeline now the first one being the Iran-Afghanistan-China. China wants that pipeline in case of future war it doesn't want to be dependent only on the ocean but also via pipeline and land routes to get their energy resources

Unless the I in "TAPI" doesn't stand for Iran, TAPI is not happening but TAP will. india pulled out some time ago. It would be EXTREMELY CRAZY and unfeasible for Pakistan to be involved in a project involving india.

When it comes to energy I guess Pakistan will overlook politics in that matter

It will give Pakistan leverage over India and bring some transit fees.

The indians have already pulled out. It doesn't make sense that they rely on or get dependent on ANYTHING passing through Pakistan.

The Indians have not pulled out but you can axe them from it

Pretty certain they have or are going to especially since their proxies in Afghanistan have been vanquished.

Why can't such pipeline pass through China and GB instead of Afghanistan and then Tribal areas.
Whatever the Afghans say is like a Hormonal teenage girls statement. She can flip at anytime and change statement.
Afghans and the tribals are the same.
Pakistan will spend silly amounts of money from saving the pipeline from being blown up by some angry tribals, even if Afghans don't blow it up already.

Such pipelines is not feasible in the Karakoram mountains range plus the pipeline will have to zig-zag alot which is unnecessarily Afghanistan is feasible for both. Afghanistan is in the middle and will have to host them. IEA is trustworthy even more than PAK officials

Because the cost for every kilometer of the pipeline isn't feasible enough to divert it hundreds of kilometers??

Not to mention the extra drilling/boring needed to pass through more mountains??

Could this crisis be what the TAPI pipeline needs to attract investors?

from 0:33 (more sources of natural gas from ... Asia)

Main problem with the pipeline for India was terms of payment. India wants to pay only for the gas that it receives at its end, thus insulating itself from the risk in transit countries. TAPI will only work if other countries agree with the idea.

 

[Shehryar Ashraf]

what is this TAPI TAPI nonsense.
call it TAP and be done with it.

Pakistan benefits immensely by having a vital gas pipeline go through Pakistani territory and into India. This would make India dependent on Pakistan.
