TAPI Pipeline Project and the Iran–US Conflict: A Strategic Pathway for Energy Security in South Asia

Abstract Energy security remains a vital concern for South Asia, a region grappling with increasing energy demands amidst persistent supply challenges. The escalation of tensions between the United States and Iran since march 2026, marked by incidents such as attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and subsequent retaliatory measures, has brought to light significant vulnerabilities within critical maritime energy transportation routes through which one-fifth of oil trades passes. The Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) pipeline represents a strategic initiative aimed to supply 33 billion cubic meters of natural gas every year from Turkmenistan’s Galkynysh gas field to Afghanistan, Pakistan and India which diversifying energy sources, fostering stronger economic ties, and enhancing regional connectivity.
This research provides the deep analysis of significance of TAPI pipeline project for South Asia in context of current energy crises due to Iran-US-Israel conflict. It also explores importance of this project and how this project benefits for Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. In this study we also explore the reason behind the delaying of this project, challenges and future prospects of TAPI pipeline.
Its successful implementation could significantly reduce dependence on maritime routes, thereby strengthening energy resilience and promoting regional cooperation among Central Asia and South Asia region. Ultimately, advancing TAPI could play a crucial role in bolstering energy security and economic resilience across South Asia, fostering a more stable and prosperous regional future.
