Indian Vessel ‘Jag Laadki’ Carrying over 80,000 Metric Tonnes of Crude Oil Reaches Gujarat’s Mundra Port

The Jag Laadki tanker delivered about 80,800 metric tonnes of Murban crude oil from Fujairah to support India's refinery amid West Asia supply disruptions.

  • On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, the Indian-flagged tanker Jag Laadki arrived at Mundra Port in Gujarat carrying 80,886 metric tonnes of Murban crude oil from the United Arab Emirates.
  • Following the arrivals of LPG carriers Shivalik and Nanda Devi earlier this week, this shipment bolsters national energy supplies amid the ongoing West Asia conflict threatening maritime routes.
  • Unlike other vessels navigating the Strait of Hormuz, the Jag Laadki avoided the chokepoint by loading at Fujairah Port, where Iran allegedly attacked the terminal on March 14, 2026.
  • Adani Ports confirmed the crude cargo is destined for the HPCL-Mittal Energy Limited refinery in Bathinda, Punjab, supporting India's energy security during regional supply disruptions.
  • India imports about 88 per cent of its crude oil and 60 per cent of its LPG needs, prompting the nation to source supplies from countries including Russia to offset regional blockades.
