The chapter tries to specify and elaborate on what this entails for India and the countries in the IOR. India's strategic location in the IOR provides distinct advantages and challenges. India cannot remain indifferent to the evolving maritime geopolitics of the region, as well as its geoeconomic interests. Over the years, India's aspiration to be a net security provider in the IOR has been much debated. It reflects India's desire to enhance its strategic presence and reach in the IOR and beyond. An assessment of India's maritime doctrine and strategy is also imperative to understand India's role in the IOR. India's intent to be a net security provider in the IOR has to be backed up by a clear strategy as well as intent. It will also be circumscribed by regional security constraints. The chapter looks at many issues, events, and developments that impact India's role as a net security provider in the IOR, viz., capacity building and enhancement, maritime diplomacy and engagement, maritime security operations, deployment of maritime forces, humanitarian assistance, and disaster relief. 2025 Adluri Subramanyam Raju and R.
