Recently, India and the UAE discussed the possibility of increasing the number of flights under the air bubble agreement, as well as developing a solid investment roadmap for the coming months, with investors showing interest in the government's disinvestment and monetisation plans. After a meeting of the UAE-India high-level Joint Task Force on investments, commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal said that the joint task force will offer a common platform for continuous dialogue to remove bottlenecks that may arise from time to time and look at new opportunities. According to Goyal, the RBI has granted Emirates NBD Financial Bank permission to open two branches across the country.
