The Iran Nuclear Deal: Implications for Trade and Investment by Indian Enterprises
On July 14, 2015, the United States along with the UK, France, Germany, Russia and China reached a historic deal with Iran to curb its nuclear program and dismantle nuclear related infrastructure in return for easing crippling economic sanctions currently imposed by the U.S. and the EU. The nuclear deal as embodied in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was finalized following many months of lengthy and contentious negotiations. Over the last several months the JCPOA has faced various political roadblocks both from within and outside the United States, making it difficult to state with certainty that the negotiated deal would be adopted or that sanctions would be relaxed. In light of India’s heavy reliance on Iranian oil and Indian business interest in investing in Iran, Indian business will need to understand the changes in the sanctions especially in the U.S. and the EU to assess the legality of potential options and the risk that may exist with even lawful business opportunities.
