Mittal Acquires Opulent Mansion in Dubai's Emirates Hills
Emirates Hills, developed by Emaar Properties, is renowned for its exclusivity and opulence. The gated community boasts custom-built villas, many overlooking the Address Montgomerie golf course, and has attracted a host of high-net-worth individuals from around the globe. Properties in this enclave are among the most expensive in Dubai, with prices reaching up to AED 2,604 per square foot.
Mittal's acquisition adds to the list of prominent figures investing in the area. The mansion, while details remain private, is situated in a locale that has seen significant interest from wealthy buyers, particularly from the Indian subcontinent. This trend reflects a broader shift in global wealth flows, with Dubai emerging as a preferred destination for luxury property investments.
The allure of Dubai's real estate market is multifaceted. The city's strategic location, favourable tax policies, and high standard of living make it an attractive option for investors. Additionally, the UAE's recent visa reforms have made it easier for foreign nationals to obtain long-term residency, further incentivising property investments.
Emirates Hills, in particular, has become synonymous with luxury and exclusivity. The community's meticulously landscaped surroundings, state-of-the-art amenities, and proximity to top-tier schools and healthcare facilities contribute to its desirability. Notable residents have included political figures, business magnates, and celebrities, cementing its status as a premier residential address.

The influx of wealthy investors has had a tangible impact on the local real estate market. Property values in Emirates Hills have experienced significant appreciation, with some homes selling for record-breaking sums. This surge in demand has prompted developers to release new plots and properties to cater to the growing interest.
Mittal's investment is emblematic of the confidence high-net-worth individuals have in Dubai's real estate sector. As the city continues to position itself as a global hub for luxury living, the trend of affluent buyers securing prime properties is expected to persist.
The acquisition also highlights the broader economic ties between the UAE and India. With a significant Indian expatriate population and deep-rooted business connections, the UAE remains a pivotal destination for Indian investors seeking opportunities abroad. This dynamic is further reinforced by the UAE's efforts to strengthen bilateral relations and foster economic collaboration.
In the context of global real estate trends, Dubai's market stands out for its resilience and growth potential. While other markets have faced volatility, Dubai has maintained a steady trajectory, buoyed by strategic initiatives and investor-friendly policies. The city's commitment to innovation and infrastructure development continues to attract international attention.

India PM Modi likely to meet Trump in US next month, newspaper reports
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to meet President Donald Trump during a visit to the US next month to attend the UN General Assembly meeting, the Indian Express newspaper reported on Wednesday, citing sources. India's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. An Indian official familiar with the matter said a decision has not yet been taken, and that countries usually reserve slots for the General Debate at the assembly, which is why India's "head of government" features in a provisional list of speakers on September 26. "The list will go through revisions," the official said, adding that it had not yet been decided if Modi would be going to the assembly. The General Assembly kicks off on September 9, but the debate, the annual meeting of heads of state and government, will be held from September 23-29. Although the reason for the potential visit will be to attend the UN meeting in New York, a key objective will be to hold talks with Trump and iron out trade and tariff issues that have led to some souring of ties between the two countries, the newspaper reported. News of a possible Modi trip to the US comes days after Trump announced an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods to penalise New Delhi for continuing to buy Russian oil. The penalty took the total levy on Indian goods exported to the US to 50 per cent, among the highest levied on any US trading partner. Trade talks between New Delhi and Washington collapsed after five rounds of negotiations over disagreement on opening India's vast farm and dairy sectors and stopping Russian oil purchases. On Tuesday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said several large trade agreements were still waiting to be completed, including with Switzerland and India, but New Delhi had been "a bit recalcitrant" in talks with Washington. Bessent told Fox Business Network's "Kudlow" he hoped the Trump administration could wrap up its trade negotiations by the end of October. "That's aspirational, but I think we are in a good position," he said, adding "I think we can be, we will have agreed on substantial terms with all the substantial countries."
