The Indian Navy launched Operation Urja Suraksha to protect India’s energy supply routes in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz amid rising geopolitical tensions in West Asia. The operation involves deploying multiple frontline warships to escort Indian-flagged vessels carrying crucial resources such as LNG, LPG, and crude oil. It ensures safe passage for these ships and helps maintain uninterrupted energy supplies to India. The mission also includes coordination with various government agencies and focuses on safeguarding maritime trade routes, thereby strengthening national energy security and resilience against potential disruptions.
