Cyprus is located in the Eastern Mediterranean, linking Europe, Africa and Asia. This strategic location, being the most eastern EU member state, has attracted companies and individuals from all over the globe over the years, with a significant increase over the past few years.

Cyprus is also an ideal jurisdiction for EU inbound and outbound investments, as well as for international tax planning and offers a well-structured and business-friendly legal, banking and business environment backed by a stable political environment that understands the importance of attracting international business and investors.

Cyprus and India enjoy a long-standing and close relationship, underpinned by diplomatic ties dating back to 1962 and a shared membership in the Commonwealth. Their connection is strengthened by cultural similarities, such as strong family values and a spirit of hospitality, as well as ongoing political and business engagement, including high-level visits and strategic initiatives like the India–Cyprus–Greece Business & Investment Council.

With extensive air connectivity to major hubs like London and Dubai, and one-stop routes to India (with direct flights under discussion), Cyprus serves as a practical and accessible gateway for Indian investors. The two countries also benefit from a revised Double Tax Treaty, MoUs in key sectors including defence, and Cyprus's eligibility for Category I FPI registration under SEBI regulations. Notably, Cyprus ranks among the top foreign investors in India, with over USD 14 billion in FDI between 2000 and 2024.
