"We have not received any report from either Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) or the maritime industry about any disruption so far," he said.
With the problems in Egypt escalating, there are fears that the crucial Suez canal link connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea could be disrupted.
