By 2025, eight Indian companies plan to invest about $1 billion in Egypt, focusing on renewable energy, green hydrogen, and bus assembly.

CAIRO – 2 October 2024: Eight Indian companies plan to invest approximately $1 billion in Egypt by 2025, targeting sectors such as renewable energy, green hydrogen, bus assembly, and various other industries, according to a government official speaking to Asharq Bloomberg.

These investments are a result of discussions facilitated by the Egyptian Commercial Representation Authority during a mid-September visit to India. The companies are expected to visit Egypt soon to explore further investment opportunities.
