“Bihar produces the highest quality food grains, vegetables and fruits and we are eager to explore avenues for exporting Bihar’s produce to the UAE,” a senior state government official said at an investor meet organised in Dubai.
“This can mark the beginning of a mutually beneficial partnership, and we are committed to increased trade and investment relations for the prosperity of both regions,” said Sandeep Poundrik, Additional Chief Secretary, Department of Industries of Bihar.
The maiden investor summit, held on Wednesday, served as a platform to showcase the state’s immense investment opportunities.
Delegates from more than 60 prominent companies in Dubai, including Crown UAE, GBS Dubai, GBF Middle East, Fine Tools, Asia Pharma, and Gulf Islamic Investments, participated in the event, reaffirming the growing interest in the northeastern Indian state’s investment potential.

“From manufacturing to technology, agriculture to tourism, Bihar’s potential is vast and diverse,” he said, adding that the state is poised for substantial growth with its strategic location, robust infrastructure, skilled workforce, and a pro-business environment.
We are committed to facilitating investment and ensuring a supportive ecosystem for companies looking to invest and expand in our state, he said.
The summit provided a unique opportunity for participants to engage with officials from the state government to get insights into the state’s business landscape and potential sectors for investment.
