Government sources told that this move is part of an effort to ensure the safe flow of India's energy supplies amid tensions in the Gulf region. According to sources, the ship is now proceeding under the protection of the Indian Navy. The Navy will guide it on its next journey to India.

The ship has over 46,000 metric tonnes of LPG. The ship is reported to be arriving at an Indian port within the next two days. Mumbai or Kandla are potential destinations. According to government sources, the ship is carrying over 46,000 metric tons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). This cargo is considered vital to India's energy supply chain. The ongoing crisis in the Gulf region has disrupted shipping activities.

Another ship passes through the Strait of Hormuz , India's first LPG vessel, the Shivalik LPG Vessel, also passed through the Strait of Hormuz. Following negotiations, that vessel was informed of safe passage. According to sources, that vessel has also reached open waters and is proceeding safely under the guidance of the Indian Navy.

Now that both Shivalik and Nanda Devi have passed through the strait, officials believe similar arrangements can be implemented for other ships if needed. This development is considered significant for India, as the country relies heavily on the Gulf region for LPG imports. Officials say the successful passage of these ships indicates that a system has been established to secure India's energy supplies through one of the world's vital sea lanes.
