An Indian-flagged LPG tanker, Green Sanvi, has successfully crossed the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz, marking a key development for India’s energy supply chain.
The vessel was carrying over 46,000 metric tonnes of LPG, a critical fuel for domestic consumption, at a time when supply disruptions have raised concerns across the country.
The transit comes amid heightened tensions in West Asia, where the Strait of Hormuz, through which nearly 20% of global oil trade passes, has seen restricted movement due to conflict.
Officials confirmed that both the cargo and the safety of Indian seafarers are being closely monitored, given the sensitive security situation in the region.
This marks the seventh Indian LPG tanker to successfully navigate the route since the crisis began, signalling gradual movement of stranded energy shipments.
India has been actively engaging diplomatically to ensure safe passage for its vessels, as multiple ships still await clearance in the region.
The successful transit offers some relief to India’s energy logistics, even as uncertainties continue around one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints.
