The company will function as a reinsurance branch from the financial hub. The Qatar-listed firm's entry adds a Sharia-compliant reinsurer to Gift City's insurance ecosystem. India has been positioning Gift City as a global financial centre to attract foreign investment and expertise in insurance and reinsurance services. ## Indian Opinion Analysis This license was issued under the regulatory framework of the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA), which since 2020 has overseen financial services in Gift City. Gujarat's Gift City is India's only operational IFSC, designed to compete with global hubs like Dubai and Singapore.
