DUBAI – In a strategic move signaling robust confidence in the UAE’s economic landscape, the 70-year-old BCD Group has formally launched its Middle Eastern operations with Dubai as its regional headquarters. The Indian-founded real estate conglomerate, which has delivered over 155 million square feet of property across seven countries, is positioning its international expansion platform, BCD Global, to capitalize on the Emirates’ growth trajectory.
The announcement comes amid unprecedented growth in Dubai’s property market, with the company targeting Dh300 million in revenue from its initial projects in Warsan during the first quarter of 2026. The selection of Dubai reflects the group’s assessment of the UAE’s economic stability, regulatory transparency, and future-oriented urban planning as ideal foundations for long-term expansion.
Amit Puri, Chief Executive Officer of BCD Global, emphasized the strategic significance of this move: ‘Dubai represents the convergence of global capital, governance and long-term urban vision. Establishing our regional headquarters here reflects our conviction in the UAE as one of the world’s most resilient real estate ecosystems.’
The expansion follows a strategic transformation under Dr. Angad Singh Bedi, Chairman of BCD Global, who has steered the enterprise into a zero-debt, vertically integrated platform aligned with global governance standards. ‘The Middle East is one of the defining growth corridors of the next decade and Dubai stands at its centre,’ stated Dr. Bedi. ‘This is not a short-term market entry – it is a generational expansion built on discipline, governance, and long-term value creation.’
BCD Global’s entry coincides with projected population growth in the UAE to 11 million by 2030, creating sustained demand for institutional-quality developments. The company’s approach prioritizes ecosystem-led development models and long-term asset creation over speculative projects, with the broader GCC region – including Saudi Arabia – identified as a key opportunity.
From its Dubai headquarters, BCD Global will oversee Middle East and Africa operations, leveraging seven decades of experience across residential, mixed-use, healthcare, hospitality, and data-driven urban infrastructure projects. The move represents a significant endorsement of Dubai’s status as a global business hub and its attractiveness to established international property developers.
