Iran says it is ready for the joint production of power with India and has sought to conduct a feasibility report.
"We welcome an idea on the joint production of power in both the countries, particularly production in Iran and transmission to India through an underwater cable, or through Pakistan, or even through swapping among the countries," said Iranian ambassador to India S. M. Nabezadeh.
He was addressing a seminar organized by the Center for Asian Strategic Studies. He said a feasibility study might be conducted.
"I hope that the Indian government would pave the way for an intensive cooperation between Iran and India in the power sector," Nabezadeh said.
"India can think of power trade with Iran to urgently meet its growing energy demand. Iran is already exporting power to nine countries, and another half-a-dozen agreements are being worked out with its neighbors to export power."
Iran exports power to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Central Asian Republics, Russia, Iraq, and Turkey. It also exports to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
