Bahrain EDB to Promote Investment Opportunities in India from September 10-14

Manama: The Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB), which is a key player in attracting investment to Bahrain, will be conducting a promotional visit to India from the 10th to the 14th of this month. The visit, led by Noura bint Ali Al Khalifa, Chief Executive Officer of Bahrain EDB, aims to promote investment opportunities in Bahrain in various sectors such as manufacturing, information and communication technology (ICT), and communications.

The objective is to strengthen bilateral economic and business ties between Bahrain and India, encourage investment opportunities in Bahrain, and promote the investment landscape of the Gulf region. The delegation will visit key Indian cities including Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chennai.

Bahrain’s favorable investment environment is particularly appealing to Indian businesses, given its strategic location in the Gulf region. Bahrain’s investment environment is not only advantageous but also offers substantial growth potential.

Each year, the increase in foreign investment is substantial, with a growth of around $10.2 billion. In 2023, foreign investments in India reached $1.52 billion. India is among the top countries with the highest investment in Bahrain.

Bahrain accounts for approximately 4% of the total foreign investments. Prominent Indian companies such as Tech Mahindra, Kemco, Electro Steel, Parle Biscuits, JBF Industries, UltraTech Cement, ICICI Bank, SBI Bank, and KIMS Health are among those operating in Bahrain.
