Qatar-India trade booming

Trade between Qatar and India is booming, increasing by $1.2 billion between 2005 and 2012.

Indian trade increased from $1.2 billion in 2005 to $14 billion in 2012. While Indian exports to Qatar posted a very little increase during this period, there was a massive jump in exports from Qatar to India. [2]

However, a senior official of Indian Embassy in Qatar [3] said there is immense scope for Indian traders in the Qatari market to reduce this imbalance.

Sasi Kumar, deputy chief of mission at the Indian Embassy in Qata [4]r, was addressing a meeting between members of an Indian trade delegation and their Qatari counterparts at the Qatar Chamber, in Doha, on Wednesday.

Qatar Chamber Director- General Remy Rowhani also urged the Indian delegates to have a look at various opportunities that Qatar can offer.

The 12-member Indian delegation, under the banner of Capexil, is in Doha to explore business opportunities by having face-to-face talks with their Qatari counterparts.
