"The volume of non-oil trade between the UAE and India is expected to reach AED 107.5 billion in the first half of 2026, supported by the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement."

Non-oil foreign trade between the UAE and the Republic of India rose significantly to Dh107.5 billion in the first half of 2026. Official reports issued by the Ministry of Economy said the positive performance reflects the continued success of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the two countries. The figures support the UAE’s plans to expand its network of trading partners and promote reciprocal investment and industrial exchanges.

Statistical data showed that the diverse range of shipments moving between Emirati and Indian ports and airports helped reduce customs costs and facilitate the delivery of essential goods to markets. Current trade arrangements aim to increase non-oil trade volumes further in the coming years by opening new opportunities for the private sector and business community. Advanced logistics initiatives are supporting supply chains and facilitating re-exports to regional and international markets.

The UAE continues to expand its Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement programme, having concluded 37 agreements with strategic global partners while continuing negotiations with additional capitals. Economic analysts say the agreement with India is a successful model and a driver of trade growth, creating quality investment opportunities in technology, industry and services. Government and private-sector entities are seeking to make full use of the available customs benefits and facilities to consolidate this sustainable cooperation.
