INSTC Overview: The INSTC is an ambitious transport network connecting India, Iran, and Russia, designed to facilitate trade and transportation across Eurasia. Enhancing its efficiency is crucial for regional economic integration.

Recommendations: The EDB's recommendations focus on improving the procedural and regulatory aspects of the INSTC, aiming to make the corridor more attractive for trade and investment by reducing bureaucratic hurdles and promoting cooperation among participating countries.

Expected Benefits: Implementing these soft infrastructure measures is expected to increase the INSTC's effectiveness, attract more businesses, and foster stronger economic ties between the corridor's member countries.

Future Outlook: The adoption of these recommendations could lead to significant improvements in trade efficiency and regional connectivity, supporting the long-term success of the INSTC.

Overall, the EDB's proposal emphasizes the importance of soft infrastructure in enhancing the functionality and appeal of the INSTC, contributing to improved regional trade and cooperation.
