BANGALORE The recent NorthSouth Corridor Agreement that provides for a new IndiaIranRussia transport link could transform the face of trade in the region. However, several hurdles stand in the way of this sea and land corridor evolving into a bustling southern Silk Route The corridor connects Mumbai with St Petersburg via Tehran and Moscow. In effect, it links the Indian Ocean with the Baltic Sea. Linking the Indian commercial capital of Mumbai with the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas by maritime transport, the NorthSouth corridor will then rely on road and rail networks to connect Bandar Abbas with the Caspian Sea ports of Bandar Anzali and Bandar Amirabad, via Tehran. From here, cargo will be carried across the Caspian Sea to the Russian port of Astrakhan. Then a long stretch of road and rail will run up to St Petersburg, the Russian port on the Baltic Sea, through Volvograd and Moscow.
