INDIA'S OPPORTUNITY IN IRAN

Apropos “India’s Opportunity in Iran”, agreed with the author as it is extremely important for India to partner with Iran on Chabahar Port (for which there is a standing agreement in place) for India’s long term strategic requirement and contemporary commercial interest. It would be also ‘Ideal’ for our new Govt. to revisit the Iran-Pakistan-India Gas/petroleum pipeline for energy security in the Indian sub-continent and also bringing the people of Pakistan & India much closer. If this pipeline project were completed in 5 yrs; then, that would knock out a significant portion of our energy import bill and therefore control the volatility in the petroleum prices and ease the pressure on retail inflation. That apart, this gigantic project could throw up opportunity for collaboration between Indian & Pakistani Industry. Last but not the least India could tick off USA for the Khobragade humiliation in a Style.
