Dubai is dreaming big — AED 1 trillion in real estate transactions by 2033 big — and it’s looking to India to help make that vision a reality.
At the International Property Show (IPS 2025) held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Majid Saqer Almarri, CEO of the Real Estate Registration Sector at the Dubai Land Department (DLD), revealed the emirate’s focused strategy: build stronger ties with Indian investors, who have consistently topped the list of foreign property buyers in Dubai.
“I recently visited India to directly engage with investors and funds,” said Almarri. “They’re among our most committed partners, and we’re building new programs around that relationship as part of our Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033.”
🏠Why Indian Investors Love Dubai
It’s not just a passing trend. Indians have long had a strong presence in Dubai’s property market — and for good reason:
âś… High returns on investment
âś… No property tax
âś… Safe and stable environment
âś… Luxury lifestyle at competitive prices
âś… World-class infrastructure
From waterfront villas in Palm Jumeirah to stylish apartments in Business Bay, Dubai real estate offers Indian buyers both value and prestige.
But it’s not just individuals. Almarri also hinted at growing interest from Indian real estate funds, a move that could unlock large-scale capital inflows into Dubai’s development projects.
đź“Š From AED 761 Billion to AED 1 Trillion: The Road Ahead
Last year alone, Dubai’s real estate market recorded a staggering AED 761 billion in transactions. But the city is not stopping there.
The Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033 aims to supercharge the sector, with more than 30 strategic initiatives already in motion. One standout innovation is the Smart Rental Index, a tool that uses AI to analyze historical and current rental trends, helping buyers and landlords make data-driven decisions.
“It’s all about smarter, more transparent investing,” Almarri said during a panel at IPS Congress 2025. “We’re building tools that make it easier and safer to do business in Dubai.”
🌍 Global Investors Are Taking Notice
It’s not just India. Investors from the UK, Pakistan, France, the Americas, and beyond are also contributing billions to Dubai’s property market. In fact, over 110,000 new investors entered the scene in 2024 — a number set to grow in 2025.
Dawood Al-Shezawi, Chairman of the IPS Organising Committee, noted that with 500+ international exhibitions hosted in Dubai each year, the city is a global hub for business, innovation, and — increasingly — real estate.
“We’re proud to have exhibitors and investors from the US, Brazil, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and more at IPS 2025,” said Al-Shezawi. “Dubai’s reputation for transparency and ease of doing business sets it apart.”
🔑 The Bottom Line
Dubai is not just selling homes — it’s building a global investment ecosystem, and India is a cornerstone of that plan.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer from Mumbai or managing a property fund out of Bangalore, the message is clear: Dubai wants you — and it’s making it easier than ever to invest.
With cutting-edge technology, investor-focused policies, and a clear long-term vision, Dubai isn’t just aiming for a trillion-dirham future — it’s engineering it.
