India: MTC to invest in the eastern branch – to Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Siberia

A few days ago, Indian authorities reported, they are willing to invest in the international transport corridor (MTK) «South-North» (also known as "North-South"), the agreement on which was reached as early as 2000 year. All these years, India clearly showed no interest in transport artery, which is initially positioned as an alternative to the Suez Canal. We are talking about the MTC project, which in future will connect Mumbai with Indian St. Petersburg, Russia through Bandar Abbas (Iran) and Baku (Azerbaijan). The total length of this route is about 7 thousands of kilometers.

We now know, India intends to invest in the so-called Eastern MTC branch. Discuss the possibility of creating such a branch was carried out in the framework of the quadripartite meeting, which in addition to the Indian representatives was attended by representatives of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Iran. It is reported by the Indian newspaper The Economic Times.

The essence of the project is, that the transport unit can be held in the Iranian territory. She is his branch - the same, which was originally conceived: from Mumbai to St Petersburg. Another - through Central Asia - in the direction of the Urals and Siberia, followed by output ports on the Pacific.

Meeting with Iran, Kazakh and Turkmen partners was organized with the participation of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. So, from Kazakhstan was attended by representatives of JSC "Kazakhstan Temir Zholy Express" (“Kazakhstan Railway Express”). At the same time I discussed the question of whether, that MTC can begin on the Indian territory is not in a congested Mumbai, and in the port of Mundra (Gujarat). He is closer to Iran's Bandar Abbas.
