Expert Says BRICS Cooperation Could Expand India's Access to Minerals, Energy and Technology
An unnamed trade expert cited by Russian news agency TASS says BRICS cooperation offers India opportunities across multiple industrial and technology sectors.

BRICS cooperation could help expand India's access to critical minerals, energy resources and emerging technologies, according to an expert cited by Russian state news agency TASS.
Subhash Chander Ralhan was quoted as saying that India has "considerable opportunities in engineering goods, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, textiles and apparel, automobiles and auto components, electronics, food and agricultural products, renewable energy, healthcare and digital services."
The remarks, reported by TASS, suggest that deeper engagement within the BRICS bloc — which groups Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa along with newer members — could support India's economic diversification across a range of manufacturing and services industries.
TASS did not provide further details on Ralhan's professional affiliation or the specific context in which the comments were made. The report did not include additional data or statements from other officials to corroborate the scope of potential BRICS-related benefits for India.
The statement comes amid ongoing discussions among BRICS members about expanding trade, resource-sharing and technological cooperation, though the source material does not specify any new agreements or policy changes tied to these remarks.
