Iran wants to rope in India later for gas project: Government

After losing the ONGC-discovered Farzad-B gas field in the Persian Gulf, the government said on Thursday that Iran wanted India to get involved in the project at a later stage.
“Last July, Iran had decided to develop the Farzad B gas field on its own and wanted to involve India appropriately at a later stage,” said MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi, adding that the Indian consortium remained in touch with Iranian authorities on the issue.
“The involvement of the Indian consortium is underway and we are in touch with them. The latest development is, of course, part of Iran’s own efforts to develop the gas field and our consortium is in touch with Iranian authorities,” he added.
