Two major companies from the United Arab Emirates have announced plans to establish operations in India’s Gujarat International Finance Tec City, commonly known as GIFT City, marking a boost in economic cooperation between the two countries. The move underscores growing interest from Middle Eastern investors in Indian financial and business hubs.
Officials said the firms will set up regional offices and business units that will focus on finance technology investment services and cross border trade support. The entry of these UAE companies into GIFT City is expected to enhance the city’s position as an emerging international financial centre and attract further foreign direct investment.
India’s government has been promoting GIFT City as a global business gateway by offering regulatory incentives, world class infrastructure and a business friendly environment. The presence of prominent UAE companies is seen as a strategic milestone in strengthening economic ties between India and the Gulf region.
Business leaders said the new operations will create jobs and increase financial activity in the region while providing UAE firms with access to India’s large and dynamic market. They also noted that the expansion could foster greater collaboration in sectors such as digital finance, asset management and international banking.
