Bangladesh has woven in favourable conditions for India—incoming and outgoing Indian cargo traffic would have to be given equal priority as that of any other country—in the contract it awarded to China for the Payra port. Bangladesh is also upgrading its Mongla and Chittagong ports in anticipation of a leap in cargo traffic from Eastern and North Eastern India, Bhutan and Nepal. It is also boosting its rail and waterways network with the $1 billion line of credit extended by India recently. All this is apart from other major infrastructure projects, like widening and strengthening all its highways, dredging its waterways with India’s help and putting in place a cold chain that will enhance exports of perishables (this cold chain will be accessible to exports from India, Nepal and Bhutan too). The under-construction Ashuganj port will have a direct road link to Tripura through the Akhaura to Agartala road and rail link that is being constructed.
