During the talks, the Pakistani delegation was the view that completion of the project within the quickest possible time was very important for this country as the gas supplied from Iran would help to meet the country's requirement of energy during the next four years.
Iran is keen on India coming on board the project but New Delhi has concern on issues relating to security, cost and pricing.
The security concerns arise as the pipeline will be passing through Pakistan's volatile Balochistan province.
This apart, India is not agreeing to bearing the bulk of the pipeline's cost, as is being demanded, since Pakistan too would be a major beneficiary of the project.
As for pricing, India says this should be done in a transparent manner.
Everything else apart, New Delhi says that if it becomes a part of the project, it wants the gas to be delivered at the India-Pakistan border so that the pipeline ends there.
