This article gives the contact details of the Embassy of the State of Kuwait in New Delhi, its consulate in Mumbai, the head of mission and Kuwait's national day, together with the facts in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) bilateral brief of September 2026 on India's representation, Indian companies and airlines in Kuwait, and consular matters. Contact details come from the MEA Protocol Division register, read on 24 September 2026.
Embassy of the State of Kuwait, New Delhi
The register lists the following details for the Embassy:
- Address: 5 A, Shantipath, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi-110021
- Telephone: +91-11-2410 0791
- Email: amboffindia@yahoo.in
The register lists no website for the Embassy, so the telephone number and email address above are the ways to reach it.
Head of mission
The register names H.E. Mr. Meshal Mustafa J Alshemali, Ambassador, as the head of mission. Appointments change, so anyone writing to the Embassy on formal business should confirm the current office holder with the Embassy.
Consulate in Mumbai
Outside New Delhi, the register lists a consulate of Kuwait in Mumbai, and no honorary consulate of Kuwait in any Indian city. It lists the Mumbai office by city only, so readers should ask the Embassy for the consulate's street address and telephone number, and for which office handles their matter.
National day
The register gives Kuwait's national day as 25 February.
India's representation in Kuwait
The brief records that before India established diplomatic relations with Kuwait, which followed Kuwait's independence in 1961, India was represented in Kuwait by a Trade Commissioner. India's mission in Kuwait today is the Embassy of India, which Indian nationals in Kuwait should approach for consular help.
Indian companies and airlines in Kuwait
The brief states that a number of Indian public and private sector companies are present in Kuwait. The Indian PSUs TCIL, New India Assurance, LIC and Oriental Insurance have offices there, and EIL (Engineers India Ltd.) is executing contracts in Kuwait.
Leading Indian private sector companies present in Kuwait include L&T, Kalpataru Power Transmission Limited, Megha Engineering (MEIL), Afcons, KEC International, TCS, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Ashok Leyland, Eicher Motors and Tata Motors, as well as the airlines Air India Express, IndiGo and Akasa Air.
Air connectivity
An MoU on Civil Aviation between India and Kuwait was signed on 15 July 2025. The brief gives no routes or frequencies for the three Indian airlines present in Kuwait, so travellers should check current flight options with the airlines.
Visas and consular matters
According to the MEA brief of September 2026, travel of around 2,20,000 Indians from Kuwait was facilitated under the Vande Bharat Mission (VBM) during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The brief contains no information on visa requirements for travel between India and Kuwait. Indian citizens planning travel to Kuwait should check current requirements with the Embassy of the State of Kuwait in New Delhi or its consulate in Mumbai, and Kuwaiti citizens planning travel to India should check them through India's official visa channels.
Before contacting the Embassy
Addresses, telephone numbers and consular arrangements can change after 24 September 2026, the date on which the register was read. Readers should confirm the details above with the Embassy before visiting or sending documents.
Honorary consuls
Honorary consuls have limited powers and cannot offer the full range of services of an embassy or a career consulate. Kuwait has none listed in India, and visa, passport and other consular requirements should in every case be confirmed with the Embassy of the State of Kuwait in New Delhi or its consulate in Mumbai.
