‘Discussed projects in Indian States with Goyal’

Dubai: Emaar Properties Group CEO Amit Jain on Friday said he discussed a number of projects in Indian States with Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and there could be some announcements by the company at the Vibrant Gujarat Summit next year.

The Tenth Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2024 is in January next year in Gujarat. Goyal, who is in the UAE on a two-day visit, held a series of meetings with businesses and senior leaders on ways to further promote bilateral trade and investments between the two countries. “We are looking at a number of areas where we can expand in the number of sectors relating to real estate... As Vibrant Gujarat also comes, there could be announcements there,” Jain told reporters here after a bilateral meeting with the Indian minister. He said India is a big investment destination for Emaar and they wish to continue to make future investments in India. “We talked about our investments already... what Emmar can do in India, we talked about Vibrant Gujarat... He talked about potential investment in Sabarmati river (front) and Kevadia (in Gujarat). I think these are very exciting projects,” he said. Without disclosing any specific projects in India, he said Emaar is the largest real estate investor in India, and “we want our investment to be successful”.
