  • The INSTC was expanded to include eleven new members, namely; Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Ukraine, Belarus, Oman, Syria, Bulgaria(Observer)
  • INSTC can reduce the time and cost of transport by 30-40%.

  • Pitching for Chabahar in the INSTC which goes via Iran's biggest port Bandar Abbas, India proposed that the land route via Kabul(Afghanistan) and Tashkent(Uzbekistan) would form the INSTC's  "Eastern corridor".
  • India's push to include Chabahar in the INSTC could have been made with an eye on the new Biden administration's push for restoring talks with Iran on the JCPOA nuclear agreement, and the possible easing of some sanctions.
