TEHRAN, Nov 25: Technical details of the gas pipeline to be laid between Iran, Pakistan and India are being finalised without India’s participation.

Irna quoted Hassan Montazer Torbati, representative of the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC), as saying that changes could be made if and when

New Delhi decided to join the negotiations.

Technical discussions are expected to be finish in a month’s time when the final document will be ready for signing by officials of the two countries.

India and Pakistan are yet to reach an agreement on gas transit fee.

India says it will join the project after it settles the issue of transit fee with Pakistan.—PPI
