Why is India re-focusing on Chahbahar port after initial hesitation?

 

 The first tri partite working group meeting between Nadia, Iran and Uzbekistan was held on Monday with the aim of
using the Chahbahar port jointly to enhance trade, transport and regional
connectivity between the three countries.
 Statement from the Indian Ministry of External
Affairs said that the three countries involved in the meeting discussed the use
of Chahbahar port. The statement said that the three sides also appreciated the
role of the port in providing humanitarian assistance during the COD 19
epidemic.
The meeting also appreciated  the Indian proposal to hold 'Chah Bihar Day' in 2021.
With this move, it seems that India is once again focusing on the Chahbahar project.
By connecting throughC hah-e-Bihar, India will be able to further strengthen its reach in Afghanistan.
India will be able to reach Afghanistan directly from Chahbahar port without
passing through Pakistan and thus will not be dependent on Pakistan for the
ongoing Indian operations in Afghanistan.
India has been sending wheat  and other goods to Afghanistan through the Chahbahar port for some time.
India cannot leave Bihar and Iran," says Qamar Agha, a strategic affairs expert
india was a little hesitant to take a decision in the meantime and that is why the project was
delayed," he said. But now the government feels it is in danger of
slipping out of its hands. India is also active in Iran in view of Chinese
investment.
