Indian investors continue to retain their position as the largest international buyer group in Dubai’s property market, accounting for an estimated 20-22% of all foreign real estate purchases in the Emirate, according to Anarock Group.
The report comes amid record real estate transactions worth AED 917 billion in 2025 (₹2,400 crore), according to the Dubai Land Department, reflecting strong global demand for Dubai’s property market driven by wealth creation opportunities, global connectivity and lifestyle-led investments.
Indian appetite for Dubai real estate remains strong
Meraki Developers, a vertically integrated real estate developer, has announced a multi-city outreach initiative across Ludhiana, Chandigarh, Karnal, Surat and Ahmedabad to tap growing interest among Indian investors in Dubai real estate.
The developer said the roadshow would later expand to additional Indian cities as part of its broader engagement strategy.
The initiative aims to facilitate direct interaction with prospective investors around factors driving demand for Dubai properties, including market resilience, ease of access, strong connectivity with India and long-term investment opportunities.
Founder and Chairman Ajay Rajendran said Indian investors are becoming increasingly strategic in allocating capital globally, with greater emphasis on long-term value creation, market stability and quality of life.
“Dubai’s proximity to India, strong fundamentals and position among the world’s top-performing real estate markets continue to make it a compelling choice,” he said.
Punjab and Gujarat investors showing strong traction
Rajendran said the company is witnessing particularly strong demand from entrepreneurial communities and business families in regions such as Punjab and Gujarat.
According to him, overseas real estate is increasingly being viewed by Indian investors as a long-term portfolio diversification strategy rather than a purely transactional investment.
As Dubai continues to attract global capital and long-term residents, Meraki Developers said it aims to strengthen investor engagement from India and participate in the next phase of growth in Dubai’s real estate market.
