UAE emerges as manufacturing hub for Indian companies
New Delhi: “Make in Emirates, make for the world.” That has been the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) pitch since 2021. Now, the message is striking a chord with Indian manufacturers.
Several Indian companies are setting up fully operational manufacturing bases across free-trade zones in the Gulf nation. Personal-care and pharmaceutical major Himalaya Wellness, electric-vehicle maker Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM), electric-bus manufacturer Switch Mobility (a subsidiary of Ashok Leyland), and iron-and-steel-pipe producer Jindal Saw are among those leading the way.
Others, including consumer-goods company Dabur, eyewear retailer Lenskart, and the Tata Group, already have a firm footprint........
