Two supertankers carrying Iranian crude oil have arrived at ports on India's east and west coasts, marking the first such deliveries in nearly seven years. One of the vessels, the Felicity — a very large crude carrier operated by the National Iranian Tanker Company — anchored off Sikka (a major oil terminal on the coast of Gujarat, western India) on 12 April 2026, carrying approximately two million barrels loaded at Iran's Kharg Island in mid-March. The resumption of Iranian crude shipments to India is a significant development in energy trade, as supplies had been halted since around 2019 following the reimposition of US sanctions on Iran.
