Which multilateral naval exercise did the Indian Navy host off the coast of Visakhapatnam in February 2026, involving 42 ships and 29 aircraft?
MILAN
MILAN is the Indian Navy's own multilateral gathering of friendly foreign navies. It began in 1995 at Port Blair and is now hosted biennially by the Eastern Naval Command at Visakhapatnam, with a harbour phase of seminars and a sea phase of joint manoeuvres, which is why a fleet of 42 ships and 29 aircraft assembles there.
The other names are bilateral or limited exercises, Konkan with the Royal Navy, Varuna with the French Navy and Malabar with the United States, Japan and Australia, so none of them is the multilateral exercise hosted at Visakhapatnam.
Hence, the answer is MILAN.
