Chabahar (Iran) July 15 (ANI): Indian Ambassador to Iran, Rudra Gaurav Shresth, paid a visit to the Chabahar Port, on July 14 marking his first visit to the port since assuming the charge as envoy. India conducts day-to-day activities at Shahid Beheshti Port in Chabahar Free Trade Zone, Iran. The Chabahar Port holds strategic importance for India, and it is developing the first phase of the Shahid Beheshti Port in Chabahar. The capacity of the port will reach 8.5 million tonnes (MT) at the end of the first phase.Earlier in May 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi signed a contract in Tehran on the Shahid Beheshti port of Chabahar, which includes, among other things, an investment of USD 85 million for the purchase of equipment for the port. Recently, PM Modi at the 23rd Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit, remarked that SCO members can work towards maximising the utilisation of the Chabahar Port following Iran’s membership of the SCO, the official press release by Prime Minister’s Office said. Chabahar Port is a seaport in the Sistan-Balochistan province of Iran, on the Gulf of Oman. It serves as Iran’s only oceanic port and consists of two separate ports named Shahid Kalantari and Shahid Beheshti. Its geographic proximity to Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) gives it the potential to develop into one of the most important commercial hubs.
