India Reports Over 1 Million Travelers Return Amid Middle East Tensions
The Indian government has implemented comprehensive measures to ensure stability and safety amid escalating tensions in West Asia, particularly concerning the Strait of Hormuz. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas confirmed uninterrupted supplies of domestic LPG, PNG, and CNG, while prioritizing commercial LPG for hospitals, educational institutions, and key industries like pharma and steel. To manage demand, booking intervals were extended, and alternate fuels such as coal and kerosene were made available. Simultaneously, the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways reported that all Indian seafarers in the region remain safe, with over 2,400 repatriated so far. Port operations across India continue normally without congestion. The Ministry of External Affairs is actively coordinating with Indian missions and state governments through dedicated control rooms to monitor the situation and ensure the welfare of the Indian community. Despite the geopolitical volatility, aviation links remain active where airspace is open, facilitating the return of approximately 1.01 million passengers from the region to India since late February. These coordinated efforts highlight the government's focus on maintaining essential supply chains and citizen safety during the crisis.
