Iran has already built 900 kilometers of the pipeline on its own territory and is waiting for the 700-kilometer Pakistani side of the pipeline to be constructed.
The pipeline is designed to help Pakistan meet its growing energy need at a time the country of over 180 million people is grappling with serious energy shortages.
According to the project proposal. the pipeline begins from Iran`s Assalouyeh Energy Zone in the South and stretches over 1.100 km through Iran. In Pakistan. it will pass through Balochistan and Sindh.
