Commenting on the new partnership, Sheikh Ali said: “We are pleased to join efforts with Invest India toward deepening our economic collaboration. India has long been a key trade and investment partner for Qatar, and through these agreements, we aim to unlock new opportunities that will drive sustainable growth in both economies.

“By fostering stronger connections between our business communities and streamlining investment facilitation, we reinforce Qatar’s commitment to positioning itself as a global investment hub aligned with the Qatar National Vision 2030.”

Nivruti Rai said: “India is one of Qatar’s significant investment partners, with over 50 years of collaboration across key sectors, such as renewable energy, metals and IT services. 

During the Joint Working Group meeting in Doha last year, both countries identified high-potential industries, including pharmaceuticals, food processing, infrastructure, technology, smart cities, and advanced manufacturing.

“We are looking forward to a fruitful relationship with Invest Qatar to drive each other’s national priorities, such as the recently announced commitment from Qatar to invest $10bn in India.”
