ADNOC & partners to invest $817 mn in UAE manufacturing sites
ADNOC announced that its partners across its supply chain commit to invest AED3 billion ($817 million) in manufacturing facilities across the UAE. The announcement was made at the 'Make it in the Emirates' forum currently underway in Abu Dhabi.
ADNOC and its partners will invest AED3 billion (~$817 million) in UAE manufacturing facilities, creating 3,500+ skilled jobs. Backed by ADNOC's ICV program, the projects support the 'Make it in the Emirates' initiative and include sites across major industrial zones. The move aligns with ADNOC's plan to locally produce AED90 billion (~$24.52 billion) in goods by 2030.
The facilities are located across Industrial City of Abu Dhabi (ICAD), Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD), Dubai Industrial Park, Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), Sharjah Airport International Free Zone (SAIF Zone) and Umm Al Quwain. They will create more than 3,500 highly skilled private sector jobs and manufacture a wide range of industrial products including pressure vessels, pipe coatings and fasteners.
The facilities have been enabled by commercial agreements ADNOC signed with the companies under its In-Country Value (ICV) program. The ICV program is providing a platform for businesses to capitalize on ADNOC's diverse commercial opportunities as it delivers on its plan to locally manufacture AED90 billion ($24.5 billion) worth of products in its procurement pipeline by 2030.
Yaser Saeed Almazrouei, ADNOC Executive Director, People, Commercial and Corporate Support, said: 'We welcome our partners' commitment to advancing local manufacturing through their investments in these state-of-the-art facilities which will strengthen the UAE's industrial base and create highly skilled private sector jobs. These investments reflect ADNOC's ongoing drive to support the 'Make it in the Emirates' initiative and localize strategic industrial capabilities through our In-Country Value program. We look forward to working with our partners to ensure business continuity and unlock further opportunities for sustainable growth and economic diversification.'
The facilities include newly operational sites, major expansions and investment commitments. The state-of-the art facilities are aligned with ADNOC's current and future procurement requirements, underscoring its support for the 'Make it in the Emirates' initiative.
The announcement builds on the success of ADNOC's ICV program, which has driven AED242 billion back into the UAE economy and enabled 17,000 jobs for UAE Nationals in the private sector since 2018. Manufacturers, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs are encouraged to explore the 'Make it with ADNOC' app, which provides businesses with visibility into the products ADNOC plans to purchase, offering a more streamlined and integrated procurement process.

Starlink set to get licence to start satcom services
NEW DELHI: 's Starlink is all set to get a go-ahead to start satellite services in India, with the govt clearing its application for a Global Mobile Personal Communication by Satellite (GMPCS) licence, weeks after issuing a letter of intent (LoI) to the company. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Starlink was waiting for the licence for the past three-four years and will finally get a go-ahead after it agreed to new conditions laid out by the department of telecom (DoT) and after it paid the fees mandated under the law. "Starlink's officials are expected in the national capital over the coming days to sign the papers for the GMPCS licence. The company is in sync with the new licence conditions and various guidelines that are required to begin services in the country," sources aware of the development told TOI. The issuance of the licence will clear one of the biggest hurdles for the company, especially as this also involves receiving approvals on security aspects by the ministry of home affairs. The govt carried out a detailed vetting of Musk's satellite company and also stipulated stiff security requirements, including the need to establish methods of interception as well as having a command and control centre in the country. Sources said that after GMPCS licence, Starlink will need approval from IN-SPACe (Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre), which will issue authorisation for its satellites to operate on Indian territory. "The application at IN-SPACe is also at its final leg and should get approval at the inter-ministerial standing committee, which is expected to happen very soon," another source said. DoT issued a Letter of Intent (LoI) to Starlink on May 7, which paved the way for the issuance of the GMPCS licence. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Govt has also kickstarted the process of finalising rules to allot spectrum to the satcom companies, which, apart from Starlink, also includes the satcom joint ventures and investments of Reliance Jio and Airtel. On May 9, regulator Trai submitted recommendations to DoT on allotment of spectrum and charges that companies need to pay for using airwaves.
