IPI Gas Pipeline Most Viable Option for India

Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline is the most viable option for India to meet its energy demand.

Despite the Foreign Office emphasizing that India was looking for an undersea route to source gas from Iran, bypassing Pakistan in the process, reliable sources  maintained that the Iran -Pakistan- India (IPI) “Peace Pipeline” still remained on the drawing board and was the most viable option.

Following talks between Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Indian External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid, the revival of an undersea pipeline project was discussed with the Oman Foreign Minister, Iran’s SHANA news agency reported.
