description The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, also termed the CPEC, is a set of infrastructural projects that focus on building an enhanced transportation system and infrastructures focusing on railways and maritime ports in Pakistan. This research focuses on the shifting power dynamics in the region, taking China-Pakistan-India as the predominant actors in the region, and aims to answer the question of what the geopolitical implications of CPEC can have on India. During the analysis of its implications for India, a special focus will be placed on the Taliban takeover and the possible extension of CPEC in Afghanistan. We aim to shed light on the ever-changing power dynamics in the region, as well as address the recent developments of Afghan involvement in CPEC and the implications it can have on the region. It is concluded that CPEC can be detrimental to Indian interests in the region.
