After having a thriving experience from India's Look East Policy, Indian policy makers initiated Connect Central Asia policy in 2012 to develop its relations with the energy rich region of Central Asia which would give boost to its foreign policy on various aspects. India's growing concern for the development of International North South Transport Corridor as a part of Central Asia policy linking Iran with other Central Asian countries bypassing Pakistan is a major competition between china's developments of China- Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). India's engagement to develop Chabahar port in Iran bypassing Pakistan to improve its relation with Central Asia is a very good alternative to improve economic engagement with the Central Asian countries which have a huge hydropower potential.
