TEHRAN: Islamabad has started the work to complete the 80km section of the Pak-Iran gas pipeline.
With Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi’s expected visit to Pakistan on April 22, authorities have commenced the work to begin the construction of the 80-kilometer section of the Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline from Gwadar to a point where it can be connected with the Iranian section of the project.
As per the publication, citing a senior official of the Energy Ministry, the Inter-State Gas Company (ISGS) has already issued tenders seeking the much-delayed re-validation of survey and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) by consultants.
Once this process is completed, the authorities will commence the land acquisition process which will then be followed by the awarding of Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract.
