India is expected to maintain a measured approach amid concerns over Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu's strengthened position following his party's massive parliamentary victory. The People's National Congress (PNC) secured a two-thirds majority in the recent elections, potentially allowing Muizzu to push policies through parliament. New Delhi, observing Male's growing ties with Beijing since Muizzu took office, will likely proceed cautiously. The Maldives holds strategic importance for India in the Indian Ocean Region, with New Delhi being a key supplier of essential goods and services to Male.
