    IRAN DROPS INDIA FROM CHABAHAR RAIL PROJECT: SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS

    Iran has dropped India from the 628 km Chabahar-Zahedan rail project. The rail link is important for the Chabahar project that has geostrategic importance. Connected by sea lanes to ports on India’s west coast, Chabahar would form the fulcrum of India’s outreach to Russia and Central Asia, enhancing connectivity, energy supplies and trade. The development comes as China finalises a massive 25-year, $400 billion strategic partnership deal with Iran. China’s increased political and economic influence on Tehran can squeeze India on several fronts. The study examines the regional /bilateral  implications of the development.
