India will host the 11th BRICS Energy Ministers' Meeting on June 25-26, 2026, in Gurugram, Haryana, under its BRICS Chairship 2026. According to official statements, the meeting seeks to advance cooperation on energy security, sustainability and innovation. Within the energy track of India's fourth BRICS Chairship in 2026, the country has adopted the theme 'Energy for All', reflecting the shared commitment of BRICS nations to ensuring universal energy access. The meeting will bring together Energy Ministers and senior officials from all BRICS member countries to advance practical collaboration towards secure, affordable, sustainable and future-ready energy systems.
India's Presidency has structured the BRICS energy agenda around three broad priorities: energy security and sustainability; energy access and equity; and technology and innovation. As reported by SocialNews.XYZ, the power ministry stated that the meeting will provide India an opportunity to showcase its significant progress in building a sustainable and future-ready energy system. As the world's third-largest producer and consumer of electricity, and one of the fastest-growing major economies, India views secure, affordable and sustainable energy as a cornerstone of its Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. Over the past decade, India has expanded its solar power capacity by more than 50 times, deployed over 60 million smart meters, and set an ambitious target of achieving 410 GWh of energy storage capacity by 2032.
To advance discussions under the BRICS Energy Track and develop recommendations for consideration by ministers, three meetings of senior energy officials have already been convened in virtual mode. According to Business Standard, two seminars were held virtually on the themes of 'Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Energy Sector' and 'Advancements in Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) Technologies', with active participation from BRICS member countries. BRICS today comprises Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates, which together account for nearly half of the world's population and around 40% of global GDP.
The programme includes the fourth meeting of the BRICS Committee of Senior Energy Officials from June 22-24, 2026, side events on clean coal technologies and raising electrical appliance standards, the 11th BRICS Energy Ministers' Meeting on June 25-26, and the BRICS Youth Energy Summit on August 17-18, 2026. As Chair, India will seek to advance the priorities of the Global South while promoting practical cooperation on energy security, resilient supply chains, innovation and sustainable development. At the global level, India has emerged as a leading advocate for clean energy cooperation through pioneering initiatives such as the International Solar Alliance and the Global Biofuels Alliance, reinforcing its role in advancing an inclusive and sustainable energy future.
