Fresh agreement between India, Iran may start operations at Chabahar Port

As operations at Chabahar Port get delayed over US sanctions, the agreement between India and Iran will now be tweaked so that payment can be made in rupees instead of dollars before interim functioning at the port starts in January.
 
According to a senior shipping ministry official, a central government team is visiting Chabahar Port to work out the modalities for a new or a revised agreement.
 
Also, Sagarmala, a government company, will take full control of the board of Indian Ports Global Ltd, which is currently being held by Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust and Deendayal Port Trust
