Chabahar–Zahedan-Bam-Hajigaj Railway

 



 

  1. India had initially proposed a plan to construct a 900-km Chabahar-Zahedan-Hajigak railway line that would connect Chabahar to the mineral-rich Hajigak region of Afghanistan. In 2011, seven Indian companies acquired rights to mine central Afghanistan's Hajigak region, which contain Asia's largest deposit of iron ore.
  2. The Government of India had pledged to spend $2bn in developing supporting infrastructure.
  3. In May 2016, an MoU was also signed for the financing of the planned Chabahar–Zahedan railway section of Chabahar–Zahedan-Hajigak railway, as part of North-South Transport Corridor, by Indian Railway's public sector unit Ircon International.
  4. India had offered to supply approximately $400 million worth of steel towards the construction of this railway,[63] as well as offered to finance the construction of the Chabahar to Zahedan rail line at a cost of $1.6 billion. India began shipping rail tracks worth US$150 million in July 2016, and in December 2016 Iran also allocated US$125 million toward this rail route.
  5. However, on 14 July 2020, Iran announced that it would be proceeding with constructing the Chabahar-Zahedan railway independently, citing delays in the Indian funding as the reason for dropping the partnership. The Iranian government has projected the completion of the rail link by March 2022, utilising the Iranian National Development Fund to complete the project.
  6. Chabahar's connection to the country's railway plan is under study and consideration. A rail link between Chabahar and Zahedan, when completed, can connect Chabahar to the KermanZahedan railway and further to the Trans-Iranian Railway.
