But what does this necklace of diamonds actually look like and how complete is it?

Starting 2018, the Indian armed forces have three new strategic bases—at Changi in Singapore, Duqm in Oman and Sabang in Indonesia. The most noteworthy of these, from a countering-Chinese-influence perspective, is Sabang near the Malacca Strait. So important is this 500-nautical mile sea route that at least 30% of the world’s sea trade passes through it, including, by some estimates, 80% of Chinese oil imports. In 2003, China’s President Hu Jintao described this as China’s “Malacca Dilemma”. China is working on alternative routes to transfer energy to solve this dilemma—through Myanmar, Pakistan, and the Isthmus of Kra in Thailand, but the route remains significant enough for Indian presence there to matter.

Access to Singapore Changi Naval Base (a base also for the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet) near the South China Sea for refuelling of ships of the India navy and other logistical support, is another crucial pivot for India in southeast Asian waters. Meanwhile, in the neighbourhood, India has improved defence ties with Vietnam with a five-day naval exercise in May. Reports that India might sell surface-to-air missiles to Vietnam even drew a response from the Chinese state media that Beijing will not sit idle to such developments in South China Sea, which China considers as its natural zone of influence.

Duqm has an interesting Geo-Strategic position too, close as it is to two Chinese hubs, Djibouti in the Horn of Africa and Gwadar (Pakistan). Oman is India’s oldest defence ally in West Asia and it helps further pry open those crucial African markets for India and Japan.
The deal with the Seychelles on Assumption Islands where India is building a naval base nearly failed with Chinese influence fuelling domestic political opposition to an agreement between the two countries in 2015. But it came through after the Seychelles was given a $100 million credit line for defence purchases and the first state visit for President Danny Faure to India. India is estimated to be pumping $550 million into developing this base.

India’s around $8 billion proposed investment in Iran’s Chabahar Port is also significant not only because it is an important counterpoint to Chinese investment in Gwadar but also because India has managed to extract US waiver of sanctions otherwise placed on Iran for this project.
