Yes we know "Indian Companies" have been in Iran for a while, we have caught few of your "Businessmen" in the act already in Balochistan.

Read this: Presently about 1600 ships are visiting Karachi Port annually and the berth occupancy is about 45%, which shows that there is enough capacity in the port to handle more cargo.

Looks like my arse is pretty good with facts.


and long line of ships awaiting to unload means inefficient port operations....

That is report for just one day seriously get a life . Taking first day of year and comparing it to rest wow just brilliant. Ssecondly if you have see these port authority websites then you will see that even after a decade they wont be updated so welcome to pakistani IT management

Mate my own faimly is involved in Import/export buisness and port handling capacity depends on season when exports are high and low. So go waste some one elses time.

Let's have a healthy discussion around Chahbahar and Gwadar ports. I have some thought provoking questions:

1 - What will be the trade volume through Chahbahar (between India/ GCC, and Afghanistan/ Central Asia/ Russia) Vs through Gwadar (between GCC, and Central Asia/ China/ Russia)?

2 - What are the risks involved (from Chahbahar to Afghanistan, from Afghanistan to Central Asia) and from Gwadar to China and China to Central Asia)

3 - Will the importers and exporters from Central Asian republics prefer their trade to be conducted through Iran/ Afghanistan or Pakistan China?

Chabahar port will help India bypass Pakistan: Afghan president
By Reuters

Afghanistan President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani on Wednesday said the Chabahar agreement will help India bypass Pakistan in transporting goods to Pakistan via a sea-land route.

“Why are we so concerned that a country (Pakistan) can block two great nations (India-Afghanistan) from trade? Let’s organise it then, let’s put the logistics in place. Anyway, Chabahar will end the monopoly,” said Ghani, during his visit to India.

Ghani’s comments come at a time when ties between South Asian rivals India and Pakistan are severely hit due to the unrest in Kashmir.

Ghani, who is on a two-day visit, had bilateral talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier in the day. Both leaders agreed that militancy presented the single biggest threat to peace, stability and progress in the region and beyond.

Will Chabahar Port reap greater benefits than Gwadar Port?

Speaking at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses in New Delhi, Ghani asserted that making distinction between good and bad terrorism is a “short-sighted” approach.

The Afghan state head said states should help their neighbours and not indulge in maligning them. “They (states) do not behave like maligned non states actors vis-a-vis their neighbours. They see a collective security to be an objective and that’s what brings stability. Stability does not come from the barrel of the gun,” said Afghanistan President, Mohammad Ashraf Ghani.

Pakistan has blamed India for the two-month unrest in Kashmir that has left at least 71 people dead and wounded thousands of others.

Meanwhile, New Delhi has blamed its neighbour for stoking further trouble by pushing militants across the heavily militarised border that divides the region.

Pakistan sees no threat from Iran’s Chabahar port

India in May this year announced that it will build and operate Chabahar port and invest USD 500 million to develop the strategically important port, close to Iran’s border with Pakistan.

Earlier in the day, India and Afghanistan signed three agreements. New Delhi also announced a credit of USD one billion to Kabul.

New Delhi has provided a little over $2 billion in economic assistance to Afghanistan in the last 15 years, but has been more measured in providing weapons in order to avoid a backlash from Pakistan, which sees Afghanistan as its area of influence.

That's great and good luck for the new found 'freedom' to both Baniya and Afghan sell-outs like Ashraf Ghani. I hope he understands the nonsense that he was talking. If Indians find it more beneficial to use Chabahar rather than Karachi, good for them. But comparing the use of Chabahar with opening up Wahga for Indian trucks to Afghanistan is pure nonsense. It, however, doesn't cost if Ashraf Ghani wants to feel happy. If Baniya is able to make an idiot mamoon out of Ashraf Ghani, Afghans should be worried about that - not us Pakistanis.

10 to 12 million tons cargo per anum while Gawadar alone can handle 400 million tons of cargo. And 212 notified ports of India handle an aggregate of 500 million tons cargo per anum.

lol, do people even take this seriously ?

400 million tonnes is the capacity it would have in 2045 at the end of lease. Good luck achieving that.

There are plans to expand current capacity and upgrade port facilities on line of gawadar port.

Just 4 new berths.

1- India follows Chabahar for Central Asia and Bandar Abbas for Russian economic corridor so the volume is distributed-

2- Central Asia can be connected directly from Iran too- and most possibly It will be for Western States of Central Asia-

3- To reach the Indian Market the most feasible route is via Afghanistan and Pakistan- But since Pakistan is stubborn Chahbahar is the second most economically feasible all weather route-

4- Chinese companies may Utilize the route to reach Central Asian states as It would be Cheaper to unload the goods at Chahbahar and use Freight transport to reach central Asia, Being an oil importing country Moving goods from China via land on Silk route for long distance would increase the costs-

5- Central Asian States are eager to reach Indian market and invite Indian investments in energy sectors and mining- Russia is more interested in the Bandar Abbas route as It connects the economic centers of Russia directly- Turkey has not shown much interest and I don't see what they would gain- They are already connected to Russian and EU and have their hands full-

6- Afghan Taliban would have to Invade Iran to disturb Chahabhar and being a Pakistani proxy I am not sure how violently would Iran react- I doubt 20000 extra troop will let BLA disturb CPEC at best they can be annoying-

7- Till Pakistan is there-
