90 Million Dirhams Investment for the Development of the Second Phase of the Logistics Complex
184 Million Dirhams Investment for a New Distribution Center for Essential Food Items
In pursuit of global growth, JAFZA has partnered with the American company Eaton to establish a state-of-the-art facility for manufacturing and R&D, spanning over half a million square feet, expected to be completed by 2026.
The food sector has also seen significant progress. Spring Valley, a provider of food and agricultural products, has announced an investment of 184 million dirhams towards developing a new distribution center for essential food items within JAFZA. Furthermore, JAFZA has entered a strategic alliance with the global Indian food brand Haldiram to create one of the largest saffron processing facilities in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
There has been a notable 28% increase in the number of Indian companies operating within JAFZA over the past year, coinciding with plans for launching the “Bharat Mart” project, which will serve as a massive commercial platform spanning 2.7 million square feet, dedicated to facilitating the flow of Indian products into regional and global markets.
Sustainability efforts continue to progress confidently, with environmental investments exceeding 105 million dirhams and the implementation of an extensive network of solar panels on rooftops. These initiatives are part of a broader plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040 and reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
JAFZA’s strategic location adjacent to the Jebel Ali Port and Al Maktoum Airport, coupled with the planned integration with the Etihad Rail network, enhances its position as a comprehensive industrial and logistics hub, equipped with multi-modal capabilities to support modern global trade.
