Signing of Memoranda of Understanding
During the “India Maritime Week 2025,” DP World signed five memoranda of understanding in the presence of the Indian Minister of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal. These agreements aim to enhance industrial partnerships and launch new investment opportunities, creating additional job prospects in the Indian maritime sector.

Expansion in the Logistics Sector
The new investments are expected to help reduce logistics costs and support local manufacturing, allowing for expanded market access across the country. Initiatives are also focused on enhancing India’s maritime capabilities through innovative and sustainable methods, facilitating the Indian economy’s goal of achieving global leadership in this field.
Vehicle Renewal Center
DP World also announced the establishment of a vehicle renewal and preparation center in the National Industries Complex. Under an agreement with Cars24 valued at 55 million dirhams, this center will be one of the largest vehicle renewal and preparation facilities in the region. The project spans an area of 220,000 square feet and is expected to provide over 200 job opportunities in its initial phase, with an operational capacity exceeding 100,000 vehicles annually, set to commence operations in August 2026.
