I don't see that happening. I mean look at the exports of Bangladesh to India (raw amount and composition).
I doubt Bangladesh will be able to compete in manufactured goods (beyond say textiles and RMG) in supplying the North East because the economies of scale India has developed in its hearth zones combined with the cheap transit across Bangladesh in effect now...mean a Walton fridge is not going to compete all that well with say a Videocon one a N.E state sources from West Bengal etc. I mean just compare the economies of scale of a Bangladeshi white-good producer like Walton to any Indian one (going by their total revenue, net income etc). I mean we can start by checking what the price of a typical Walton fridge is if you have that info somewhere.

Indian imports from Bangladesh include textile fibres, paper yarn, fish, apparel, mineral fuels, salt and cement.
The raw good or low value addition goods are what will increase from Bangladesh into the North East and rest of India. But terms of trade for those are relatively low given Bangladesh's import basket from India includes 30 - 40% of large value added manufactures like vehicles and manufactured components.
The fact Bangladesh imports these from India show just how unviable Bangladeshi white-good manufactures will be in the North East with cheap transit. Also I am unsure what duties such value-added Bangladeshi goods attract in India.
Even hypothetically/conceptually, if you think the North East being a backyard of Bangladesh....its all relative since what exactly does India consider Bangladesh? You can't say one relationship is more of a partnership and the other is more of a captive "backyard" "large reliance" status

Choose Walton as brand. Then look at MSRP vis-a-vis displacement.
Also consider that compressor of Walton models is sourced from better Asian brands. Also look at Videocon reputation in India for longevity vs. other brands.
Telling thing is there is almost no Indian refrigerator/freezer brand in Bangladesh mentioned here even after twenty some odd years of marketing in this country.
