The Dubai Chambers of Commerce and Industry reported that the number of Indian‑registered firms operating in Dubai surged to 85,841 by the end of June.
Dubai's leading business federation announced that Indian‑owned enterprises operating in the emirate climbed to 85,841 by the close of June, marking a rapid expansion over a short period. The figure was disclosed by the President of the Dubai Chambers of Commerce and Industry during a recent briefing on the emirate's foreign investment landscape.
While exact comparative data from earlier months was not released, the steep rise underscores a strengthening presence of Indian businesses across sectors such as trade, construction, and services. Industry observers attribute the growth to favourable bilateral trade agreements, ease of setting up firms in free zones, and increasing demand for Indian expertise in the UAE market.
The President highlighted that the surge reflects deepening economic ties between India and the United Arab Emirates, and he expects the trend to continue as more Indian entrepreneurs explore opportunities in Dubai's dynamic economy.
Analysts note that the expanding Indian corporate footprint could boost bilateral trade volumes and create additional employment opportunities for both expatriate and local workforces, further cementing Dubai's role as a hub for Indian commerce in the Gulf region.
