Jebel Ali Free Zone, Jafza, the flagship free zone entity of Dubai and the trade and logistics hub for the wider Middle East region, registered an additional 60 Indian companies in 2015 from key sectors, including electronics (20%), steel, construction and building materials (19%), chemicals and petroleum products (17%) and FMCG (6%).
With over 800 Indian companies from various sectors based in Jafza, the Free Zone recorded a growth of 10% last year in the number of companies registered. This is due to the strong bilateral ties between India and the UAE and the reputation that Jafza has built among India’s business community.
Jafza has been organising regular roadshows in India and the latest in the series was a three-city tour held recently in major Indian business centres Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and New Delhi.
