Indian Navy Launches 'Operation Urja Suraksha' to Secure Energy Vessels in Strait of Hormuz

The Indian Navy has launched 'Operation Urja Suraksha' (Energy Protection) in March 2026 to escort and safeguard India-bound energy shipments through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. The mission involves deployment of more than 5 frontline warships around this critical maritime chokepoint. The operation has already achieved notable success with LPG carriers Pine Gas and Jag Vasant successfully navigating the Strait under naval escort, carrying a combined cargo of approximately 92,000 tonnes of LPG. Other vital ships such as LPG carriers Shivalik and Nanda Devi, and crude oil tanker Jag Laadki have also been successfully escorted. The operation reflects India's strategic response to escalating tensions in West Asia and the need to secure vital energy supply routes.
