Do you really think that one port Gwadar can handle almost 3/4th of combined cargo of 12 major ports that India is handled now ?
Future plans here and not forget China will be handling the port leased to them for 40 years. China plans big considering the trade, import and exports of the country. Yearly trade of China is more than 4000 billion USD with about 2.6 trillion USD exports and about 1.6 trillion USD imports. The exports is roughly 10 times that of India, services exports excluded.
from the article....
Expansion under CPEC
Under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor plan, COPHC will expand Gwadar Port with the construction of nine new multipurpose berths on 3.2 KM of seafront to the east of the existing multipurpose berths. COPHC will also build cargo terminals in 12 km of land to the north and northwest of the site along the shoreline of the Demi Zirr bay.
In addition, the Gwadar Port dredging project will deepen approach channels to a depth of 14 meters from the current 12.5 meter depth that will enable docking of larger ships with a deadweight tonnage of up to 70,000 at Gwadar Port. It is estimated that till date, the port has handled over one million ton of cargo which mainly include construction material for other CPEC projects. COPHC plans to eventually expand the port's capacity to up to 400 million tons of cargo per year. Long terms plans for Gwadar Port require a total of 100 berths to be developed by 2045.

China turning Pakistan’s Gwadar into World’s largest strategic giant port: VOA
Islamabad – An unprecedented Chinese financial and construction effort is rapidly developing Pakistan’s strategically located Arabian Sea port of Gwadar into one of the world’s largest transit and transshipment cargo facilities.
The deep water port lies at the convergence of three of the most commercially important regions of the world, the oil-rich Middle East, Central Asia, and South Asia.
Beijing is developing Gwadar as part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, known as CPEC. The two countries launched the 15-year joint mega project in 2015 when President Xi Jinping visited Islamabad.
