While analysts believe that that the presence of Chinese and Indian military in these ports will increase Sino-Indian rivalry, there are other expectations that Chabahar will diminish the importance of Gwadar port as a transit hub for Central Asian republics. These and other contingencies will have to be factored in by India, Iran and Afghanistan while progressing in the region.
