India is preparing to send oil tankers through the Hormuz Strait to secure new energy supply.

According to sources familiar with the matter, India is preparing to send ships through the Strait of Hormuz to load energy cargo from suppliers in the Middle East. This will be the first time India has taken such action since the conflict with Iran erupted. The sources said that the plans have been finalized, and once the government gives final approval, the ships will begin attempting to cross the strait. Since the discussions have not been made public, these sources requested anonymity. They did not disclose specific transportation times or the scale involved. One source said that once the state-owned Indian shipping company receives approval from the Indian navy and secures operations from refineries, it will be ready to return to the Persian Gulf. It is currently unclear whether Iran and the United States, who are separately imposing blockades on the strait and surrounding waters, will allow Indian ships to pass through this waterway. The agreement of both parties will be crucial for the successful implementation of the plans.
