🌍 Region: Asia

India, a major South Asian economy and the world's most populous country, is not currently a BIE member and has not participated in recent world expos as an official pavilion holder. Despite this absence from formal expo governance, India represents significant commercial interest for Expo 2030 Riyadh given its large consumer market, growing technology sector, and regional proximity to Saudi Arabia. The country's participation status and strategic alignment with Riyadh's expo ambitions remain uncertain pending potential BIE membership or bilateral arrangements.
