Operation Urja Suraksha is a naval initiative undertaken by the Indian Navy to safeguard the movement of India-bound oil and gas shipments from the Persian Gulf region. It focuses on securing vital sea lanes, especially around the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global energy chokepoint.
The mission ensures uninterrupted energy supply by deploying warships to escort merchant vessels once they exit Hormuz, guiding them safely through the Gulf of Oman into the Arabian Sea. It strengthens maritime security in conflict-prone waters and protects critical trade routes.
APSC Relevance: Important for maritime security, energy security and strategic importance of sea routes.
