The Malabar exercise is originally a bilateral exercise between India and the US. It has now become one of the major multilateral naval exercises aimed at enhancing operational coordination, information sharing and naval interoperability among Quad members. The exercise began in 1992 as a bilateral initiative between India and the United States on the Malabar Coast, the southern part of India’s west coast. It was expanded in 2007 to include Japan and Australia, with Japan becoming a permanent participant in 2015. Australia rejoined the exercise in 2020, marking the Quad’s joint participation in the military exercise.
