Gateway to UAE Roadshow Highlights India's Shift to Regional Export Hubs
The Gateway to the UAE roadshow, held in Chennai and Delhi and hosted by Ajman Free Zone with The Economic Times and Times of India Digital, highlighted India's evolving export strategy. Indian businesses are increasingly using the UAE not just as a market but as a regional hub to access the Gulf, Middle East, Africa, and Europe. With India's exports reaching a record $863.1 billion in FY26, the UAE's strategic location and infrastructure offer opportunities for SMEs and exporters to establish distribution, warehousing, and re-export operations, supported by the India-UAE CEPA.
