Two Indian-flagged LPG carriers, Jag Vasant and Pine Gas, are transiting the Strait of Hormuz with 92,000 tonnes of LPG, according to the government.

The vessels are navigating one of the world's most sensitive maritime corridors, with routes cleared by Iran, and are expected to head to India, which is facing LPG concerns.

The ships began moving northwards from the UAE coast on Monday, signaling Indian ownership through their transponders to reduce exposure to potential threats.

The government is tracking their movement, with more information expected on Tuesday.

India's last two carriers were granted safe passage after a deal with Iran, with the Iranian Navy guiding one of the tankers.
