The 111-year-old PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI), one of India’s leading chambers of commerce, has chosen Gulf Industry Fair (GIF) – to be held in Bahrain in February – as a platform to promote its members and their products in the GCC.  

Under a co-operation agreement, the New Delhi-headquartered PHD Chamber will bring companies from the infrastructure, power, renewable energy, manufacturing, logistics and smart cities space to (GIF) under the umbrella of an Indian Pavilion.

“PHD Chamber has a direct and indirect membership of over 48,000 corporate entities,” said Saurabh Sanyal, secretary general of PHD Chamber. “Our members include some of India’s leading industrial companies such as DCM Shriram Industries; Ireda, Reliance, Tata Power, DLF, J K Organization, Kajaria Ceramics, Hindware, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, and Salora International, to mention a few.”

“As the official partner organisation of the Gulf Industry Fair, we will showcase an Indian pavilion of expertise and products new to the market,” he added.

Gulf Industry Fair 2017 takes place from February 7 to 9 under the patronage of HRH Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister of Bahrain, at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre.

HCE has also entered into a strategic partnership with Gulf Projects & Tenders (gulfprojects.me), under which the GCC-wide project tracking database will be the Knowledge Partner for the upcoming Gulf Industry Fair 2017.
