DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, March 21. Tajikistan and
India have discussed prospects for expanding cooperation in the
energy sector, Trend
reports via the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources of
Tajikistan.
The issue was reviewed during a meeting between Tajikistan’s
Minister of Energy and Water Resources Daler Juma and India’s
Minister of Power Manohar Lal Khattar on the sidelines of the
Bharat Electricity Summit 2026 in New Delhi, which runs through
March 22.
During the discussions, the parties engaged in dialogue
regarding the existing framework of collaboration and the potential
avenues for enhancing synergies within the energy domain.
Focused efforts were directed towards the execution of
collaborative initiatives, the sharing of expertise, and the
adoption of cutting-edge technologies designed to promote the
sustainable advancement of the sector.
Tajikistan and India have strong and expanding economic ties,
particularly in development, energy, and healthcare, despite a
relatively modest total bilateral trade volume. India supplies
about 25% of Tajikistan's pharmaceutical market and exports tea,
coffee, medical equipment, machinery, and sugar. Tajikistan mainly
exports agricultural goods, aluminum, and minerals to India.
Indian investments exceed a million dollars, with key projects
including the CHL Limited Sheraton Hotel in Dushanbe and the
Varzob-1 hydroelectric power plant modernization. Both countries
aim to enhance collaboration in IT, renewable energy, mining,
agriculture, and construction, along with utilizing regional
transport corridors like the Chabahar Port route to enhance
trade.
