With the fall of Machh town and the failed Baloch coalition assault to retake the Bolan Pass, the fate of the Baloch people was sealed. The defeat at the Bolan Pass proved catastrophic for the Western Baloch as a whole.
Following the battle, the flat terrain, though arid, enabled Mughal cavalry and artillery to swiftly advance. There was no strong force left to stop the mughal might.
This time, their goal was not annihilation, but subjugation. With a power vacuum in Eastern Balochistan, it took only four days for the local chieftains to submit and merge with the Pakistan Sultanate.
The city of Quetta was easily captured, and the royal family was executed for their defiance but none of the civilians were exploited like those of Sibi and Dhadar. To quell local unrest, the Mughals installed a puppet leader from the Baloch region which worked greatly in Mughal favour.
