India–Turkmenistan relations are the bilateral relations between India and Turkmenistan. India has an embassy in Ashgabat which opened in 1994.[1] Turkmenistan has an embassy in New Delhi.[2]
TAPI Pipeline
[edit]India has a particular interest in Turkmenistan's hydrocarbon reserves.[3]
Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, collectively known as the TAPI countries, are working on a gas pipeline which was initially scheduled for completion in early 2017.[4] However, as of April 2024, the pipeline is yet to be completed.[5] This is particularly important for India's burgeoning energy needs as on completion, the pipeline is expected to provide nearly 60% of India's energy needs.[6]
Trade
[edit]Total trade between Turkmenistan and India is meagre, amounting only to around US$42 million according to the Ministry of External Affairs of the Indian government.[4]
