Dubai Chambers has hosted a meeting with senior representatives from Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) to strengthen trade and investment ties between Dubai and India.
During the discussions, both sides agreed to develop a joint action plan focused on expanding business collaboration across key priority sectors and unlocking new partnership opportunities.
The meeting was led by Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, and Chandrajit Banerjee, Director-General of the Confederation of Indian Industry, together with senior representatives from both organisations.
The cooperation between Dubai Chambers and the Confederation of Indian Industry focuses on stimulating bilateral trade and investment flows, with a strong emphasis on future-facing sectors such as the digital economy, including fintech, medtech, healthtech, and agritech.
It also targets key areas such as education, agriculture, and food products to unlock new growth opportunities and support long-term, sustainable economic development between the two markets.
The discussions addressed the main elements of the proposed action plan, with the goal of further strengthening trade and investment cooperation and creating a more structured framework for sustained bilateral engagement.

“The longstanding and deeply rooted economic ties between Dubai and India provide a strong foundation for creating new high-value opportunities across strategic sectors. They also create favorable conditions for productive partnerships that can accelerate bilateral trade and investment and strengthen ties between private sector companies in Dubai and their counterparts in India. We remain committed to providing integrated support that enables Indian companies to benefit fully from Dubai’s strengths as a leading global business hub and a strategic platform for regional and international growth. At the same time, we provide Indian investors and entrepreneurs with a comprehensive range of services and solutions that support the success and expansion of their businesses from Dubai.”
In April 2025, Dubai Chambers has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Confederation of Indian Industry to strengthen bilateral trade and investment ties between Dubai and India and support shared economic growth.
The agreement established a cooperation framework across key areas, with Dubai Chambers supporting Indian companies in establishing and expanding their presence in the emirate through strategic services designed to accelerate investment.
