Two Indian and one Pakistani ships transit the Strait of Hormuz.

Two additional liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carriers operated by the state-owned Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) have successfully navigated the strait and offloaded their cargo in India. This development is part of India’s efforts to secure its energy needs through various maritime routes.

LPG is a critical resource for both residential and industrial applications, and the timely delivery of these shipments contributes to stabilizing domestic supply. The SCI plays a significant role in the countrys shipping and logistics sector, operating a fleet that meets various national transportation demands. As of recent reports, the demand for LPG in India continues to rise due to increased cooking gas requirements and industrial usage, prompting the government to enhance its import capabilities to ensure energy security.
