Indian LPG Vessels Jag Vasant, Pine Gas Clear Hormuz After IRGC Nod, Head Home

• Two Indian LPG carriers, Jag Vasant and Pine Gas, have cleared the Strait of Hormuz and entered international waters.
• The vessels received clearance from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) after being stranded due to Iran-Israel hostilities.
• The Indian Navy played a key role in coordinating with Iranian authorities to ensure safe passage for the ships.
• The clearance offers major relief to India’s energy supply chain, which was disrupted by heightened regional tensions.
• The government hopes for more approvals to ease pressure on India’s LPG supply and is banking on increased domestic production.
