Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is hoping to host 100 Indian companies in the free zone by 2024. That’s a five-fold increase on the 20 Indian firms registered at present. The move follows the August visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the UAE to increase bilateral trade with the country by 60% over the next five years. Over 40,000 companies in the UAE have been set up by non-resident Indians who contribute to an estimated $55 billion in investments.
