Explanation:

In this context India has considered a 1,300 kilometers pipeline project to connect Middle-East rich gas fields to India through the Arabian Sea. To be developed in phases, the MEIDP project should start from Chabahar on the southern coast of Iran and from Ras Al-Jafan on the northeastern coast of Oman. These two branches of the Middle-East to India Deepwater Pipeline should merge in the subsea deepwater of the Oman Gulf before crossing the Arabia Sea up to Porbandar in the State of South Gujarat in India.
