LITIGIOUS CONCERNS RELATED TO IRAN-PAKISTAN-INDIA GAS PIPELINE

Abstract

The (IPI) Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project, revived in the upshot of the nuclear deal with P5+1 nations and Iran, pursues to direct Pakistan's mounting energy demands and boost bilateral trade interactions. India and Pakistan are in dire need of resources for energy consumption in agriculture, manufacturing, industry and domestic use; IPI can become an economic engine to boost growth and lead South and East Asia towards the course of development. The presence of an already constructed portion of the pipeline in Iran would be a resource loss if Pakistan and India follow the U.S. and Saudi-Arabia instructions. Though, the project is entwined in a complicated web of geopolitical, authorised, and economic encounters, incorporating global restrictions, bilateral disagreements over pricing, defence risks, and monetary constraints. This study gravely examines the litigious concerns about the IPI gas pipeline and gives a valuable recommendation for its prosperous execution. Directing the niceties of global sanctions, county conflicts, and economic restrictions, the IPI gas pipeline signifies a nuanced connection of economic benefits and geopolitical subtleties, dictating a detailed understanding for projecting a feasible path concerning project recognition.
