In 2009, IEA and India endorsed the Joint Statement during the IEA Ministerial Meetings. This sets a new level of co-operation and commitment between two parties and builds on the “Declaration of Co-operation between India and the IEA” signed on 30 April 1998. The key objectives of IEA-India co-operation are to support the increasing alignment of energy policies between India and the IEA, including a common commitment to enhancing energy security, economic growth, and development, and to achieving open, transparent and efficient energy markets.

The Joint Statement is to broaden and further the scope of co-operation on the foundation of the Declaration. Core areas of activities range from energy security, energy efficiency, renewable energy, clean coal, energy statistics and energy technology collaboration, to personnel training and exchange. In addition to these agreed areas, the IEA is also committed to address other important issues including energy poverty.
