TAPI Pipeline to Remain Failure Without India and Pakistan’s Participation (Syed Fazl-e-Haider, The Jamestown Foundation)

Turkmenistan is eager to accelerate the construction of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline to sell its natural resources to the energy-starved countries of Pakistan and India. Due to regional conflicts and instability, the project has been stalled for over 30 years. With the Taliban government’s recent assurances toward the pipeline’s security, construction seems ready to start in earnest. India, however, is concerned about the gas price and the pipeline’s path through Pakistan, causing uncertainty in the project’s completion.
