Malabar is a multilateral war-gaming naval exercise that was started in 1992. It began as a bilateral exercise between the navies of India and the United States. Two more editions of the exercise were carried out in 1995 and 1996, after which there was a break until 2002 in the aftermath of India’s nuclear tests. Japan became a permanent participant in the naval exercise in 2015. Australia and Singapore have participated in this exercise quite a few times as non-permanent members. For the past two years, India has refused Australia’s bid to participate in the drill.
