The LPG carrier Jag Vikram has become the first India-flagged vessel to successfully cross the Strait of Hormuz since the US-Iran ceasefire was announced. The vessel is transporting 20,400 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and has 24 seafarers aboard. It is expected to dock in Mumbai, India, on April 15, 2026. Prior to the ceasefire, eight India-flagged vessels had already transited the Strait, but 15 remain stranded in the Persian Gulf due to ongoing coordination requirements with Iranian authorities for safe passage. An official noted that normal maritime traffic is unlikely to resume until a comprehensive agreement between the US and Iran is finalized. Meanwhile, the Indian oil ministry confirmed that LPG supplies to households across the country remain stable. To promote a transition away from LPG, the government of Andhra Pradesh has announced extended subsidy support for domestic piped natural gas users, addressing the barriers that have previously hindered households from making the switch.
