India will host the 11th BRICS Energy Ministers' Meeting on 25–26 June 2026 in Gurugram, Haryana, under its BRICS Chairship 2026. The meeting will bring together energy ministers and senior officials from all BRICS member countries to advance cooperation on energy security, sustainability and innovation. This is India’s fourth BRICS chairship, following its earlier tenures in 2012, 2016 and 2021.
India's BRICS Chairship in 2026 is guided by the overarching theme ‘Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability (BRICS)’. Within the energy track, India has adopted the theme ‘सर्वेषां ऊर्जम्’ (Energy for All), reflecting the shared commitment of BRICS nations to ensuring universal energy access.
BRICS comprises 11 countries of 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 percent of global GDP.
The BRICS Energy Ministers’ Meeting comes at a time when countries across the world are working to balance energy security, affordability, and sustainability while addressing the challenges of climate change, technological transformation, and growing energy demand.
The priorities of the BRICS Energy Agenda resonate strongly with India’s own sustainable development pathway focussing on meeting its growing energy demand while enhancing energy security and energy access, strengthening grid resilience, diversifying supply sources, and expanding the share of clean energy in its energy mix.
