Expanding Indian Global Trade Presence

Bharat Mart, set to open in Dubai by 2025, is an expansive warehousing facility initiated by India to enhance its trade presence in the Middle East and compete with global trade hubs like China’s Dragon Mart. Conceived over an area of more than 2.7 million square feet, the facility will feature 1,500 showrooms for retail and wholesale, substantial warehousing space, and various business amenities. Located strategically near Jebel Ali Port and Al Maktoum International Airport, it aims to strengthen India-UAE trade, targeting $100 billion in non-oil bilateral trade by 2030. The project aligns with Indian government initiatives like Make in India and D33, offering Indian businesses, especially SMEs, an efficient gateway to high-growth markets in the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.
