Member countries of the International Energy Agency (IEA) have agreed to initiate discussions with India on its request to become a full member of the organisation, the agency has said.
Ministers from the 31 member countries made the announcement in a joint communique after the IEA’s 2024 Ministerial Meeting and 50th Anniversary events in Paris from February 13-14.
India had sent a formal request to the IEA for a full membership in October 2023. It joined the IEA as an association country back in 2017.
