From a BBC report

To the north of India, China's so-called "Silk Road Economic Belt" is intended to roll out a network of Chinese infrastructure, commerce and strategic assets through Central Asia. And to the south, its "Maritime Silk Road" is intended to do the same across the Indian Ocean.
China has swiftly become an enormous investor in Sri Lanka, the Maldives and the Seychelles.
Similarly Nepal and Bhutan, both traditionally part of India's sphere of influence.
Last month, China's president visited Pakistan, pledging $46bn investment in road, rail and energy projects and an "all-weather strategic partnership of cooperation".

Here's a semi-official chart of the Belt from the Chinese point of view. Clearly, India doesn't figure there much. Also, the detour to Moscow looks more like a political afterthought than an economic necessity.
