The Apostolic Exarchate was erected by Pope Benedict XVI on July 14, 2010 upon request of the Holy Synod of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, particularly the Late Moran Mor Cyril Baselios Catholcios Bava in 2001.[1] The first and current Exarch is Aboon Thomas Mar Eusebius, formerly secretary general of the major archeparchy of the Syro-Malankara Church at Trivandrum, India.[2]
