This study investigates the role of the Indian Ocean in India's strategic thinking to become a leading sea power and aims to address three fundamental questions: First, what impact does geostrategic position and security environment of the Indian Ocean have on India's sea power? Second, what measures has India taken to become a leading sea power? Third, what obstacles faced India in this relation? The research findings show the geostrategic significance of the Indian Ocean to promote India into a leading sea power, and India has taken some military measures and maritime policies to improve its sea power. The initiatives and strengthening of the Indian naval fleet are among its military actions. India's maritime policies include the neighborhood policy, SAGAR, action in the east, Mausam, cotton route, diamond necklace, Bharatmala and Sagarmala. Also, the obstacles hindering India to become naval power include weak presence in different regions of the Indian Ocean, lack of military and strategic focus on navy and the presence of regional rivals in the Indian Ocean.
