India LPG Carriers Move Through Strait of Hormuz India has moved nearly all of its LPG carriers out of the Strait of Hormuz with support from the Indian Navy as tensions continue to affect shipping security in the Persian Gulf region. Government sources said on Thursday, May 14, 2026, that the 14th Indian liquefied petroleum gas carrier had crossed the strategic waterway, while one final vessel remained in the process of crossing under close monitoring.

In a moment that could quietly shape global energy markets, an India-linked LPG tanker is attempting something most ships are now avoiding.

India is set to continue importing Russian crude oil and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) even after the expiration of the 30-day sanctions waiver granted by the United States on April 11, 2026.

​RIO DE JANEIRO — Monday, April 6, 2026 — Surging energy prices linked to global geopolitical tensions are putting pressure on Brazil’s flagship cooking gas subsidy program, raising concerns about its sustainability just months ahead of the country’s presidential election. The initiative, known as “People’s Gas,” was launched by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in November 2025 as a central component of his energy policy, aiming to provide free liquefied petroleum g

India has officially confirmed that it is importing crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from Iran, marking a notable development in its energy policy amid evolving global market conditions. The confirmation was issued by India’s Petroleum Ministry on Saturday, April 4, 2026 (IST), providing clarity on ongoing reports about energy trade involving Iranian supplies. The acknowledgment highlights India’s continued reliance on diversified fuel sources to meet rising domestic demand. As one of the world’s largest importers of crude oil, India depends heavily on international suppliers to sustain economic growth, industrial activity, and consumer energy needs. Iranian crude and LPG are considered commercially attractive due to pricing advantages and established supply channels. Officials emphasized that India’s crude supply remains secure and that there are no reported payment-related disruptions affecting imports from Iran. The clarification comes amid heightened global scrutiny over transactions involving Iranian energy exports, which remain sensitive due to international sanctions frameworks and geopolitical considerations. Energy analysts note that India’s confirmation underscores a broader trend among major economies seeking flexibility in sourcing oil and gas. With global oil markets experiencing volatility, countries are increasingly prioritizing energy security and affordability over rigid sourcing constraints. India’s approach reflects a pragmatic balance between domestic economic priorities and external diplomatic pressures. The development may also influence broader market sentiment, particularly if it signals sustained or increased flows of Iranian crude into global supply chains. At the same time, it highlights the complexities of international energy trade, where economic necessity, regulatory environments, and geopolitical dynamics intersect. India’s confirmation on Saturday, April 4, 2026 (IST) reinforces its strategic focus on ensuring uninterrupted fuel access while navigating a rapidly shifting global energy landscape.

On Saturday, April 4, 2026, India marked a significant milestone in its energy dealings by making its first purchase of Iranian oil in over seven years. This comes after a period of strained relations due to U.S. sanctions that pressured India to halt its imports of Iranian crude back in May 2019. However, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, particularly the U.S.-Israel war, has severely disrupted global oil supplies, pushing India to seek alternative sources of crude oil. The supply cha

India’s government on Thursday, April 2, 2026 (IST), said there have been no discussions with Iran regarding the imposition of tolls on Indian ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, dismissing recent reports circulating amid heightened tensions in West Asia.
