Bharat Mart to be Indian goods’ gateway to ME, Europe, Africa

DP World unveiled plans for Bharat Mart, a Dubai marketplace set to open in 2026 that will offer trading platform for Indian manufacturers and exporters to access global markets.

Spanning 2.7 mn sq ft, Bharat Mart is poised to become a mega distribution hub for Indian businesses to trade in the UAE and re-export to regional and global markets.

Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Indian prime minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone on February 14, 2024.

The market will be situated in the Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) and will be part of a wider ecosystem of trade that DP World is developing through the Dubai Traders Market.

Bharat Mart is planned to house 1,500 showrooms catering to retail and wholesale customers, and over 700,000 square feet of Grade A warehousing space.

The marketplace will be located 11km from Jebel Ali Port, the largest seaport in the Middle East, and 15km from Al Maktoum International Airport.

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, DP World: “Bharat Mart will be the ideal gateway for Indian goods to efficiently reach the UAE and other high-growth markets in the Middle East, Europe and Africa.”
