Progress has been made in narrowing down differences between Pakistan and India over charges to be paid by India to Islamabad for allowing passage of Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline, official sources said on Tuesday. Now June end deadline for signing of tripartite agreement looks achievable with this development on $7.4 billion gas pipeline project.
Iran wants to sell natural gas to India and Pakistan at $4.93 per mBtu (at $60 per barrel crude oil price). Transportation tariff and transit fee are in addition to this price, the sources said.
