OCCI participates in Franchise India Expo 2025 in New Delhi
New Delhi: Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI) on Sunday took part in the 21st Franchise Exhibition held in New Delhi, Republic of India.
The Sultanate of Oman's delegation was headed by Eng. Hamoud Salim Al Saadi, Second Deputy Chairman of the OCCI Board of Directors, Chairman of the OCCI Commercial Excellence Centre. Eleven Omani trademarks participated in the event alongside the OCCI.
Oman's participation in the expo reflects the country's keenness to explore franchising opportunities in the Indian market, consolidate international trade ties and encourage the Omani business brands to expand into new markets abroad, in line with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040, which underscores the importance of empowering the private sector and expanding its global presence through strategic partnerships and innovative, value-added projects.
Al Saadi pointed out that Oman's participation in the New Delhi Franchise Exhibition was aimed to convert pioneering ideas into business models capable of expanding in global markets.
Al Saadi underlined the significance of franchising as one of the most practical models for enabling entrepreneurs to expand safely and in an organised manner. Franchising, he added, constitutes a pillar for the growth of an economy based on innovation and entrepreneurship.
Al Saadi said that India is one of the largest and fastest-growing markets in Asia. He explained that the Indian market represents an important gateway for Omani companies seeking expansion, notably within the context of the strong historical relations between the Sultanate of Oman and the Republic of India and amid the scope of economic integration between the two countries.

Oman opens first copper waste recycling plant
Oman has inaugurated its first industrial plant dedicated to converting legacy copper mining waste into high-purity copper using renewable energy and eco-friendly technologies — a major step toward green industrialisation and sustainable resource management in line with Oman Vision 2040 goals. Located in the Wilayat of Suhar, the plant was officially opened on Monday under the auspices of Qais bin Mohammed al Yousef, Minister of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion. The launch was attended by ministers, senior officials and business leaders from across Oman's public and private sectors. Developed by Green Tech Mining and Services, the project is the first of its kind in the country. It was made possible through a strategic partnership between Oman Mining Company and Austria-based BPG Group, with support from the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion. Total investment exceeds RO 41 million. The initiative aims to turn environmental liabilities into economic value by reprocessing waste from historical copper mining operations. The first production phase is scheduled to begin in June 2025 with an output capacity of 60 tonnes of copper cathodes per year. By December 2026, capacity is expected to scale to 12,000 tonnes annually — significantly enhancing Oman's footprint in the regional green mining sector. Dr Saleh bin Said Masan, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion for Commerce and Industry, described the project as a 'qualitative leap' in Oman's industrial trajectory. 'This plant integrates environmental sustainability with economic diversification and industrial localisation. It reflects our commitment to innovation-led development and cleaner industrial practices.' The project also supports the Oman Industrial Strategy 2040 by boosting value-added production, attracting high-tech investments and localising industries that harness the country's natural resources. Copper cathodes produced at the facility will be classified as sustainably recycled metal — a key asset in global decarbonisation supply chains. Khalid bin Salim al Qasabi, Director-General of Industry at the ministry, said the plant represents a practical embodiment of the ministry's push to enable advanced industrial projects. 'We worked to ensure streamlined procedures and robust technical standards to bring this facility online. It's a model of regulatory coordination and sustainable investment.' Ernst Grissemann, CEO of BPG Group, highlighted the long-term vision behind the project, which began in 2018. 'The use of renewable energy and the plant's zero-waste approach underlines our dedication to the responsible industry. This facility positions Oman as a regional hub for green transformation in the mining sector.' As Oman seeks to elevate its industrial competitiveness, reduce environmental impact, and create new value chains from existing resources, this project offers a blueprint for scalable, environmentally responsible industrial growth — reinforcing the Sultanate's position in the global transition to sustainable development.

Digital banks get green light in Oman
MUSCAT: The Central Bank of Oman (CBO) has issued a regulatory framework for the licensing and supervision of digital banks, marking a major step toward modernising the country's financial sector. The framework comes into effect on June 1, 2025, and is aligned with Oman Vision 2040. The framework allows digital banks to operate as either locally incorporated joint-stock companies (SAOC or SAOG) or as branches of foreign banks, subject to regulatory approval in their home jurisdictions. Two types of licenses will be offered. Category 1 requires a minimum paid-up capital of OMR 30 million and allows full operations. Category 2 requires OMR 10 million but comes with business limitations, including caps on customer deposits and corporate lending, and a prohibition on proprietary trading. These limits are waived during the first two years of operation. All digital banks must maintain a physical head or registered office in Oman. They may open administrative offices for customer support, but not traditional branches for transactions. Shareholding limits apply: individuals and their affiliates may hold up to 15 percent of voting shares; corporate bodies up to 25 percent; and holding companies up to 35 percent. Cross-ownership in multiple banks is restricted to 15 percent. Applicants must present a detailed five-year business plan covering digital services, target segments, profitability projections, and a financial inclusion strategy. The plan must outline IT architecture, cybersecurity readiness, and disaster recovery procedures. Digital banks are expected to adopt modern technologies such as AI, open banking, blockchain, and cloud computing. Omanisation targets start at 50 percent and rise to 90 percent by Year 5. The CBO mandates the submission of an exit plan alongside the license application. It must define conditions under which the bank would voluntarily cease operations, such as capital or profitability deterioration. The plan should address customer protection, risk triggers, and exit funding without regulatory assistance. Licensed digital banks must comply with the Banking Law 02/2025, National Payment Systems Law 08/2018, and AML Law 30/2016. They are also subject to digital onboarding rules, cybersecurity frameworks, consumer protection regulations, and fraud prevention protocols. The CBO may require independent technical assessments at the applicant's expense. Non-compliance could trigger enforcement measures, including license revocation. The CBO reserves the right to reject incomplete applications or withdraw approvals if information is found to be inaccurate. The new framework is expected to pave the way for digital-first banking models, improve access to finance, and foster innovation in Oman's financial sector.
