♦ The Indian Navy has launched an operation, called Urja Suraksha to escort, guide, and safeguard India-bound energy shipments through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, which has been blockaded by Iran. Urja Suraksha is being conducted with calibrated precision and minimal publicity to ensure the uninterrupted and secure movement of Indian-flagged vessels carrying critical energy supplies.

♦ The primary objective is to protect India's energy security, with 22 India-bound vessels currently identified for evacuation, including 20 high-priority ships carrying critical supplies of LNG, LPG, and crude oil.
