Three Indian-flagged crude oil tankers carrying more than 8.6 lakh metric tonnes of cargo and 94 crew members transit the Strait of Hormuz and are heading back to India, according to multiple reports citing officials. The Hindu and Times of India say the tankers have successfully crossed the strait and are en route to Indian ports, which they expect to be reached next week. Mint adds that the vessels complete the passage before a stated closure of the strait by Iran, noting that the timing raises questions about maritime safety in the region. Times of India links the resumed movement through the waterway to a U.S. decision to lift its blockade on Iran, which is described as enabling the tankers to sail through. Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal is cited by The Hindu as confirming the transit. Across the reports, the key common points are that the tankers are Indian-flagged, are carrying crude oil cargo of roughly 8.6 lakh tonnes, and have 94 Indian crew members, with the vessels proceeding toward India after successfully clearing the strait.
