On April 30, Iran’s ambassador to New Delhi, Mohammad Fathali, stated that Indian vessels can transit the Strait of Hormuz without restrictions and will continue to do so under full security.
MT Sarv Shakti, carries 46,313 metric tons of LNG (Indian cargo) with 20 crew members on board, including 18 Indians, and is expected to arrive in Visakhapatnam on May 13, 2026.
Tensions around Iran have led to an effective blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies from the Persian Gulf, affecting both oil exports and production levels. Due to the blockade, fuel and industrial product prices have risen in most countries worldwide.
