Colombo Port City is stepping up efforts to attract Indian companies and investors, positioning Sri Lanka’s emerging financial and business hub as an additional base for businesses seeking to expand their regional operations.
The development is promoting its location and connectivity as advantages for Indian businesses looking to access international markets. The initiative is aimed at companies across sectors such as financial services, technology, logistics, professional services and trading.
The “India-plus-one” approach is being highlighted as an opportunity for Indian companies to establish an additional operational or investment base outside India while maintaining strong links with their domestic businesses.
Colombo Port City is being developed as a special economic zone with facilities intended to support international businesses, including commercial, financial, residential and mixed-use developments.
For Indian companies, the project offers potential access to Sri Lanka and wider regional markets, supported by Colombo’s position along major Indian Ocean shipping routes.
The increased outreach comes as businesses continue to diversify their regional operations and explore new locations for investment, services and international trade.
Port City Colombo is seeking to build stronger economic and commercial links with India by attracting new investment, encouraging business partnerships and positioning the development as a regional platform for Indian companies.
