Iran has increased the price of natural gas it plans to sell to India through Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline to USD 7.2 per mBtu, which makes it the most expensive fuel in the country as of date.
Besides, India would have to pay USD 1.1-1.2 per mBtu in transportation cost and transit fee for wheeling the gas through Pakistan, making it the costliest gas in the country, so India had lost interest in the project because it considered that the price proposed by Iran was too high.
