I would thank the Gods if Russians could maintain proper supply of spare parts etc for what they sell to/build with India; let alone maintaining a naval base in Indian Ocean.
At least in the near future we don't see any new stamping of Russian naval footprints so far from home, when they have problems in Ukraine and economy.
As far as India is concerned, we would like to keep the Ocean in a geo-political vaccum as much as possible.
Indian Ocean is going to become the global trade hub and conduit at the same time. It is important to keep these waters peaceful.
The less world powers play wrestling here, the better it is.

why focus only the indian ocean and us giving only - would russia give a stretch of land they do not use near the PRC border for us to use (there is even unused land near to eastern europe and western asia). we can take it on lease and even use it for economic corridor with russia where trade moves through that to russia and even beyond to europe ...

russia is a huge country and they ought to use that to their advantage. some might say we can even create some joint india and russia defence industry complex industry and have indian industry within that (with its own overview and review). it would be like a adopted russia area that will become indian.
