# Qatar Pledges $10B Investment in India

**New Delhi (TDI):** Qatar has committed to investing $10 billion in India in different sectors, the two countries said in a joint statement on Tuesday, after Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani visited New Delhi.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he had a “very fruitful meeting” with Qatar’s Emir, who was on a two-day trip to New Delhi.

“Trade featured prominently in our discussions. We want to increase and diversify the trade relations between India and Qatar,” Modi said in a statement.
