India's Infrastructure Interests in Bangladesh Amid Political Uncertainty

India?s substantial infrastructure investments in Bangladesh are under scrutiny following the political upheaval after Sheikh Hasina?s ouster. The investments, which include various large-scale projects aimed at improving connectivity and bilateral trade, are now facing potential delays and reassessments due to the shifting political landscape. India has been heavily involved in developing key infrastructure in Bangladesh, including roadways, railways, and ports, which are crucial for enhancing regional connectivity and trade. The current political uncertainty could impact these projects, influencing not only the pace of development but also the broader economic and strategic relations between the two neighboring countries. India?s continued engagement will be essential to navigate these challenges and maintain the momentum of infrastructure growth in the region.
