M.A. Yusuff Ali lands in Delhi as LuLu Group sustains GCC food supply chain

M.A. Yusuff Ali flew from Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on June 17, a 1-hour 33-minute hop aboard his Gulfstream G600 (T7-YMA). The short domestic leg follows a pattern of movement between Indian cities and his home base in Abu Dhabi.

The trip lands him in the capital the same week LuLu Group continues to coordinate large-scale food exports to the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, a supply chain push that began in earnest after the West Asia conflict disrupted regional trade routes in late February. In March, Yusuff Ali briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on the group’s initiatives, which included 34 dedicated chartered flights and more than 15,000 tonnes of perishables moved from India to the GCC, per reports from [businesstoday.in](https://www.businesstoday.in/india/story/extremely-thankful-lulu-group-chief-hails-modi-govt-for-uninterrupted-food-exports-to-gcc-nations-522543-2026-03-26) and [thehindubusinessline.com](https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/logistics/lulu-group-moves-more-than-8000-tonnes-of-food-products-from-india-to-gulf-nations-ensures-steady-supply/article70756702.ece).

The June 17 flight fits a broader travel rhythm: Yusuff Ali flew from Kochi to Oman on June 11, then to the UAE, and onward to Mumbai before heading to Delhi. His Gulfstream G600, with its 6,600-nautical-mile range, is well suited to the frequent India–GCC shuttles that underpin LuLu’s effort to keep 280+ hypermarkets stocked and prices stable, as noted by [thepeninsulaqatar.com](https://thepeninsulaqatar.com/article/27/03/2026/lulus-yusuffali-briefs-indian-pm-on-continuous-food-supplies-to-gcc).
