India–Turkmenistan relations

India–Turkmenistan relations are the bilateral relations between India and Turkmenistan. India has an embassy in Ashgabat which opened in 1994. Turkmenistan has an embassy in New Delhi.

TAPI Pipeline
India has a particular interest in Turkmenistan's hydrocarbon reserves.

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. However, as of April 2024, the pipeline is yet to be completed. 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.

Trade
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.
