India: Dubai firm to build dry port in Indian-occupied Kashmir

SRINAGAR, 08 December 2022, (TON): New Delhi’s representative in the occupied territory said “Dubai ports giant DP World is set to build an inland port in India-held Jammu and Kashmir.”

Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, in Dubai this week to promote investment, said “DP World would soon visit the 250-acre site earmarked for the inland port facility.”

He said “we will finalise it shortly,” describing the project as a “firm commitment” by state-owned DP World.

A DP World spokesperson said the company had a “productive meeting” with Sinha on Thursday and that it was preparing a proposal for the project.

The announcement last October that Dubai would invest in the India-occupied region was the first by any government since Delhi revoked its autonomy in 2019 and divided it into two directly-ruled territories.
