Iran wanted India s involvement at a later stage: MEA on Farzad-B project
Days after it lost the ONGC-discovered Farzad-B gas field in the Persian Gulf, India on Thursday said Iran wanted its involvement in the project at a later stage.
Spokesperson in the Ministry of External Affairs Arindam Bagchi said the Indian consortium concerned is in touch with Iranian authorities on the issue. 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, he said. 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 said.
