Aatmanirbhar Bharat Expo 2027

The Aatmanirbhar Bharat Expo, also billed as the Made in India Expo, brings Indian manufacturers, exporters and service providers to the UAE to meet buyers from across the Gulf. It builds on the India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which the organiser says lets more than 90% of Indian products enter the UAE duty-free, and puts the self-reliant India policy in front of GCC procurement teams, trading houses and investors.

Who attends

The first two days are reserved for trade professionals and government delegates; the third day opens to the public and the Indian diaspora for retail and property investment.

• Government procurement officials from UAE and GCC ministries and semi-government entities
• CEOs and sourcing managers from trading houses in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain
• Venture capital and private equity investors scouting Indian fintech, IT and healthcare startups
• Hosted buyers flown in for pre-scheduled B2B matchmaking (100+ planned)
• Day 3: high-net-worth individuals, NRIs and property seekers

Sectors on show

Exhibitors are grouped into eight Indian export sectors, each positioned against demand in the UAE market.

• IT & Fintech
