What I know, since last year China's Navy always maintain a Task Force minimum 8 Combat Ready Warships in IOR at any given time (mostly Destroyer and Heavy Frigate). More if you include Survey Vessel, Surveillance Ships, Logistic Vessel, Submarines, and Ships stationed on their Djibouti Naval Bases, and Gulf of Aden.

Maybe to Patrol and Securing lines between their Naval Base in Djibouti and their Bases in South China Sea.



And thats already confirmed by an Indian Admiral,
At any given time, seven to eight Chinese vessels are there in the region,” Admiral Singh said.

And what worrying indian more, China's Navy also deploying Submarines for fighting Somali pirates
Sources in the defence ministry said Chinese naval ships had been regularly entering the Indian Ocean since 2013 and had been deploying submarines for anti-piracy operations.

“India is worried over China’s influence in the Indian Ocean region and the PLA navy is taking an assertive stance in the South China Sea and is challenging India’s domination in the region. There is a threat from Chinese submarines in the Indian Ocean even though they claim it is for anti-piracy. We are regularly carrying out threat assessment of the PLA’s submarines,” a defence ministry official told The Telegraph.
