Two India‑flagged liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carriers — Jag Vasant and Pine Gas — have successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz, carrying a combined about 92,612 tonnes of LPG destined for India amid ongoing Middle East tensions. Ship‑tracking data show the vessels took a coastal route near Iranian islands to reduce risk, broadcasting their Indian identity to signal safe passage. Both are expected to reach Indian ports between March 26–28, 2026, easing LPG supply concerns in India during heightened geopolitical uncertainty. This transit underscores the strategic importance of keeping energy shipments secure. (PC: X)
