سفیر ایران در هند: ایران برای سرمایه‌گذاری در هند آماده می‌شود.

an Iranian official said in New Delhi on Tuesday, as the country seeks new avenues of growth amid debilitating U.S. sanctions.

Iran has seen a massive drop in export earnings which is eating into funds for social development. This has raised questions that it might not invest in the expansion of a refinery.

Iran’s participation has also been questioned after India cut back its Iranian crude oil imports following U.S. sanctions and stopped them completely from May.

“We have announced our readiness for that (to invest in the refinery),” said Ali Chegeni, ambassador of Iran in India.

“We have no limit to work with India whether investment, whether any kind of joint venture, we are ready for that.”

India was Iran’s top oil client after China, but halted imports after Washington withdrew exemptions in May to eight nations, including India,

Naftiran Intertrade, the Swiss subsidiary of National Iranian Oil Company,

holds a 15.4% stake in Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd,

 a subsidiary of India’s biggest state-owned refiner Indian Oil Corp Ltd.

Indian Oil has about 52 percent share in the refinery.

Chennai Petroleum plans to invest up to 356.98 billion rupees ($5.1 billion)

to replace the 20,000 bpd Nagapattinam refinery in Southern Tamil Nadu state with a 180,000 bpd plant.

Chegeni said he hoped that Bank Pasargad, a major Iranian bank which offers commercial and retail services,

will soon open a branch in India and will directory deal with India’s UCO Bank and IDBI Bank Ltd that were handling India’s oil payments in rupees to Tehran.

India was paying for oil imports in rupees before suspending its purchases.

After all of these the biggest winner in this field in USA.

USA does just concern about his beneficial terms of its self.
