Two More Indian Oil Tankers Near Arrival as Hormuz Crisis Disrupts Supplies
Two Indian-flagged tankers carrying key energy supplies are set to reach India on Tuesday, even as disruptions continue in the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing regional tensions. The Jag Laadki, transporting nearly 81,000 tonnes of Murban crude from Fujairah, is expected to arrive at Mundra Port this afternoon. Officials confirmed that all 22 Indian crew members onboard are safe.
The Nanda Devi, carrying around 46,000 tonnes of LPG, is scheduled to dock at Kandla Port earlier in the day. Another tanker, Shivalik, had already reached Mundra on Monday after sailing from Ras Laffan.
The arrivals come after multiple Indian vessels were stranded due to the conflict in West Asia. Jag Laadki is among the ships that managed to move out of the affected zone, with authorities continuing efforts to ensure safe passage for others still in the region.
India’s energy supply chain remains under strain, as the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world’s most critical oil transit routes—faces disruption. The country imports nearly 88% of its crude oil, along with significant volumes of gas and LPG, much of it from West Asia.
While crude imports have been partly offset through alternative sources like Russia, shortages in gas and LPG supplies continue to impact commercial consumption.
