15% year-on-year increase<\/strong> and makes Indian businesses the largest foreign business community represented in Dubai’s chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIndia-Dubai Trade Hits Record High<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe surge in Indian businesses comes alongside a sharp increase in bilateral trade. Dubai’s non-oil trade with India reached a record $60.6 billion in 2025<\/strong>, rising 15% from the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOver the past decade, bilateral trade has increased by 136.2%<\/strong>, from $25.6 billion in 2016. India is now Dubai’s second-largest trading partner<\/strong>, demonstrating the growing importance of the Indian market to the emirate’s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe figures show that the relationship is moving beyond traditional trade and increasingly encompasses investment, technology and new-age industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indian Investment in Dubai Surges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIndian businesses have also become significant investors in Dubai. Between 2016 and 2025, Dubai attracted nearly $8.8 billion in Indian investments<\/strong>, including approximately $2.3 billion in foreign direct investment during 2025 alone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAt the same time, investment has moved in the opposite direction. Indian companies invested around $9.3 billion across 147 projects in India<\/strong> during the same period, contributing to the creation of approximately 55,274 jobs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis two-way investment indicates that the relationship is becoming increasingly integrated rather than being driven solely by companies setting up operations in Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Indian Companies Are Choosing Dubai<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nDubai’s infrastructure, international connectivity and access to markets across the Middle East and Africa are among the factors attracting Indian businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For companies looking to expand internationally, Dubai can serve as a regional base connecting them with customers, investors and business partners across multiple markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UAE-India Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) has also helped reduce trade barriers and improve market access, creating additional opportunities for businesses in both countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Technology and AI Become New Growth Areas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe relationship is also expanding into emerging technologies. Agentic AI and the wider digital economy are becoming increasingly important areas of cooperation between Indian businesses and Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dubai Chambers has been working to strengthen connections with India’s technology ecosystem, including initiatives aimed at building collaboration between Dubai and Bengaluru in artificial intelligence and deeptech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This could create opportunities for Indian technology companies to use Dubai as a launchpad for expansion into international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dubai Strengthens Its Position as an Indian Business Hub<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe rapid growth in the number of Indian companies reflects increasing confidence among Indian entrepreneurs and businesses in Dubai’s economic prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Dubai, the influx of Indian companies provides access to a large and diverse business community with expertise spanning technology, manufacturing, finance, trading and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Indian businesses, the emirate offers a strategically positioned base from which they can pursue opportunities across the Gulf, Africa and other international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Relationship Moving Beyond Traditional Trade<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe latest figures suggest that India-UAE economic ties are entering a broader phase, driven not just by merchandise trade but also by investment, technology, entrepreneurship and cross-border expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With more than 85,000 Indian companies now active members of the Dubai Chamber and bilateral trade reaching record levels, the UAE is becoming an increasingly important destination for Indian businesses seeking international growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe number of active Indian companies registered with Dubai Chamber has reached 85,841 after 7,579 firms joined in the first half of 2026, marking a 15% annual increase. Dubai-India non-oil trade reached a record $60.6 billion in 2025, while investments are expanding in both directions. Technology, Agentic AI and the digital economy are emerging as important areas of cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
