DP World expands footprint in India to boost trade, logistics

DP World is set to inject another US$ 5 billion into India to expand its integrated supply chain network, aimed at boosting domestic and international trade. This latest commitment builds on the US$ 3 billion the company has already invested over the past 30 years, underscoring its enduring presence and influence in India’s logistics sector. His Excellency Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World, said the initiatives aim to lower logistics costs, expand access to markets, and support local manufacturing. He added that the investments are aligned with national priorities such as PM Gati Shakti, Sagarmala, and the Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047, reinforcing India’s efforts to build a connected and resilient logistics network. The funds will be directed toward enhancing India’s infrastructure backbone, improving multimodal connectivity, and boosting the nation’s competitiveness in global trade. The announcement came during India Maritime Week 2025, alongside five MoUs signed to foster strategic partnerships across the maritime and logistics sector. These collaborations are expected to open new avenues for business growth, create jobs, and strengthen the country’s trade ecosystem.
