Chahbahar is located in the Sistan and Balochistan province of Iran close to the Pakistani border.
India is developing the Chabahar Port, to increase Chabahar's port capacity from 2.5 million tons to 8.5 million tons per year, to foster trade with Afghanistan and Central Asian countries by-passing Pakistan. The first shipment of Indian wheat, bound for Afghanistan, passed through Chabahar Port last year.
Chabahar Port is considered as a counter to Pakistan's Gwadar port, which China is developing as a part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
