L&T, GMR Adani getting active along India ME-Europe Corridor

18 Sep 2023 CW Team

In a significant development, the formal announcement of the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor was made during the G20 Summit on Saturday. However, even before the official unveiling, Indian companies in the infrastructure and energy sectors had already embarked on, and are planning to undertake, mega-projects along the proposed corridor. Their proactive stance not only marks a commitment to economic development but also underscores India's growing geopolitical interests.

The ambitious corridor is poised to establish vital connections between India, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, Greece, and onwards to major European economies including France, Germany, and Italy. This comprehensive initiative will serve as more than just a trade route; it is envisioned as a multifaceted corridor that will encompass rail links, digital infrastructure, and networks for electricity and clean energy. Notably, it promises to reduce the time for India-Europe trade by a substantial 40%.

Among the Indian conglomerates making significant strides in this endeavor, the Adani Group has garnered substantial attention. Last year in July, the group made a high-profile acquisition with the purchase of Haifa Port in Israel. This strategic move positions the Adani Group as a key player in enhancing connectivity and trade along the corridor.

Furthermore, other infrastructure giants such as Larsen & Toubro and the GMR Group have also revealed their investment plans, further solidifying India's commitment to this transformative initiative.

As the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor gains momentum, it is expected to play a pivotal role in reshaping regional and global trade dynamics, while also bolstering India's position on the geopolitical stage.
