Oman is inviting Indian investors to participate in a new aluminium processing zone under the Ladayn programme, aiming to create a comprehensive ecosystem for aluminium industries. This initiative follows the success of its plastics development zone, which has attracted 28 projects.

Bilateral investment flows between India and Oman have tripled to $5 billion since 2020, with a focus on metals manufacturing. The India-Oman Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement offers zero-duty access, enhancing industrial collaboration. Oman seeks to leverage its aluminium infrastructure for downstream processing and green production, presenting itself as a strategic gateway for Indian companies to access markets in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.
