Chabahar-Zahedan Railway Line

In 2016 India and Iran signed an agreement to construct a 628 km rail line from Chabahar port to Zahedan, along the border (Zaranj) with Afghanistan.
It is a part trilateral agreement between India, Iran and Afghanistan to build an alternate trade route to Afghanistan and Central Asia.
The entire project would be completed by March 2022, and that Iranian Railways will proceed without India’s assistance.
Iran will be using approximately $400 million from the Iranian National Development Fund.
The development comes as China finalizes a massive 25-year, $400 billion strategic partnership deal with Iran.
