Transport

Sonadia is seen as a potential deepwater port lying on the Bay of Bengal that could serve the landlocked parts of India, Myanmar and China.

Rail connections have yet to be built, and the question of gauge has yet to be resolved as the following gauges are in use or possible:

  • 1,676 mm (66 in) - Bangladesh, India
  • 1,000 mm (39 in) - Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Thailand, etc.
  • 1,435 mm (56 in) - China
