Dubai will open a dedicated market for Indian traders next year, a senior official at DP World said.
“We have established Yiwu Market (for Chinese traders). We're building Bharat Mart spanning about 2.7 million sqft, which will have all made-in-India products. We have already done the groundbreaking. We're also building Turk Mart for Turkish traders. These are good for our customers who will come here, consolidate their cargos from China, India, from other parts of the world in one place,” said Abdulla bin Damithan, CEO and managing director of DP World for GCC region.
In an interview with Khaleej Times on the occasion of Jafza’s 40th anniversary, Abdulla said the first phase of Bharat Mart will be operational in 2026 and it will operate at full capacity in 2027.
