India Engages Stakeholders Over Chabahar Port After US Waiver Ends

India is working with people who have a stake in a big port in Iran called Chabahar.

The U.S. had a special permission that let India help build the port, but that permission ended on April 26, 2024.

Because of that, the Indian government is talking to everyone involved to figure out what to do next.

India has already paid $120 million to the Iranian port authority, and the last payment was made in August 2025.

The port is run by an Indian company that started in 2018.

The main goal of the port is to give Afghanistan a way to trade and help India trade with Central Asia.

The Indian government wants to keep the project going even after the U.S. permission ends.

They are making sure all parties are on the same page.

This helps both India and Afghanistan grow their economies.
