The militarization of the Coco Islands is a major concern for India due to a number of reasons:

Proximity to India: The Coco Islands, located only 45 kilometers from the Indian Andaman and Nicobar chain, could potentially serve as a base for military surveillance against India, especially given the ongoing suspicions regarding China's involvement in the island's infrastructural developments.

Potential Chinese Intelligence Base: Given the rapid construction and development activities on the Coco Islands, there are fears that the islands could be used as a Chinese intelligence facility. This speculation started in the 90s when reports emerged about China setting up a radar facility on the island.

Impact on Regional Stability: Any military infrastructure on the Coco Islands could disrupt regional stability. It can enable China to monitor and restrict Indian military activities in the Bay of Bengal, a strategic region for India.

Strategic Importance of Coco Islands: The Islands' location makes them a strategic outpost for military activities, right on the mouth of Indian maritime waters. An extended runway suitable for fighter operations would facilitate a strong foothold for Chinese military.

China's Economic Corridor: The potential militarization of the Coco Islands could support China's ambitions for a China-Myanmar economic corridor. Such a corridor would give China direct land access to the Indian Ocean, bypassing the Malacca Strait, thus facilitating energy imports and shipping.
