State of the India

GCC Relationship

Around 8.9 million Indians live in the Gulf, including 2.5 million in Saudi Arabia and 3.4 million in the United Arab Emirates. The Gulf nations contribute 50% of India’s yearly remittances of more than $80 billion. Over the past ten years, trade and investment between India and Middle Eastern nations have increased dramatically.

The third-largest trading partner for India globally is the United Arab Emirates. India and the UAE now trade $88 billion more than they did before the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) was signed in 2022, a rise of more than 38%.

Opportunities for both sides

Economic Opportunities

  • GCC is an important supplier of oil and gas for India, and stronger connections might lead to increased access to energy resources. Additional initiatives for collaborations may include renewable energy, higher education, technical innovation, smart cities, and space trade.

Investment opportunities

  • Technology, renewable energy, and infrastructure are among the sectors identified for investment and joint ventures. Improving relationships may result in increased investment in these industries. 

Indian diaspora

  • GCC has one of the largest Indian diasporas in the world, with a population of about nine million. Significant pull forces were produced by the expansion of the oil sector, most notably the abundance of employment opportunities, which ranged from trained engineers to oil field workers. People are gradually migrating to nations like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Oman, and others to work in a variety of industries like banking, information technology, and business as a result of the GCC’s rapid development, which is being driven by the region’s burgeoning oil industry. 

Strategic relations

  • From a geopolitical standpoint, India and the GCC share a goal for regional political stability and security. They have shared political and security concerns, which translate into efforts for peace, security, and stability in the Gulf area and South Asia. The emergence of shared security perceptions opens up new avenues for collaboration in the future. The GCC states are undergoing significant change and transition; the process of understanding and integration is maturing. Together with it, the fields of cooperation are expanding beyond investments, trade and commerce, and human resource exchange and development to security.
