DP World has pledged to invest an additional US$5 billion in India to strengthen its integrated supply chain network, which supports both exports and domestic trade.
This is in addition to the US$3 billion that DP World has already invested in India over the past three decades. These investments focus on strengthening India’s infrastructure backbone, advancing multimodal connectivity, and enhancing the nation’s competitiveness in global trade.
Announced at India Maritime Week 2025, this development follows five Memorandums of Association that DP World signed in the presence of the Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal.
The MoUs aim to forge industry partnerships that are expected to unlock significant opportunities for business and employment across India’s maritime ecosystem.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World, said that this new investment combined with the strategic partnerships, reaffirm our commitment to advancing India’s maritime and logistics industry and cementing the nation’s position in global trade.
The MoUs signed by DP World at India Maritime Week span green coastal shipping, shipbuilding, ship repair, skill development, and advanced freight mobility all aimed at accelerating the sector’s sustainable growth and efficiency.
These agreements include:
DP World’s network in India covers more than 200 locations, creating over 24,000 direct and indirect jobs in the country.
