What Happened
Two tankers carrying Iranian crude oil have anchored off Indian ports for the first time in seven years. The Iran-flagged Felicity reached Sikka port in Gujarat with approximately 2 million barrels for Reliance Industries. The Curacao-flagged Jaya reached Paradip port in Odisha with similar cargo for Indian Oil Corporation. These arrivals follow a one-month US sanctions waiver announced last month to ease global oil supply disruptions. The waiver expires April 19.
