DP World is investing USD 2.5 billion in 2025 to develop end-to-end logistics infrastructure worldwide, a move that is generating thousands of new construction jobs.
According to a company statement, almost 5,000 roles are being created to support major transport projects in India, Britain, Ecuador, Senegal and the Democratic Republic of Congo, underscoring the economic impact of DP World’s mission to keep global trade moving. The supply chain solutions leader currently employs more than 100,000 people globally.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World, said: “We are delighted that our investment is providing jobs for almost 5,000 people this year alone to help deliver major upgrades to the transport infrastructure of five different countries.”
He added: “Trade has the potential to transform lives and these new jobs highlight how that happens in practice. Once completed, the construction workers will leave behind world-class logistics infrastructure that will serve customers, communities and continents for decades to come.”
In India, a key growth market, 2,000 jobs are being created this year through the development of a new terminal at Tuna Tekra in the northwest, with an additional 500 roles tied to rail and inland terminal projects across the subcontinent – vital links within DP World’s integrated logistics network.
