India resumes Hormuz oil shipments amid regional tensions. After months of disruption from the Iran conflict, India is preparing to send tankers through the Strait of Hormuz to load energy cargoes from Middle Eastern suppliers. State-owned Shipping Corporation of India has finalized plans and awaits government approval before vessels begin transit. The strait, which handles roughly one-fifth of global oil flows, has been virtually halted since February. India's Navy has doubled warships in the region and increased surveillance to protect Indian-flagged vessels. As the world's third-largest crude importer, India depends heavily on Middle Eastern oil, making this corridor critical for energy security and cost management compared to alternate sources.
