As of 2007, there are about 30000 people of Indian origin living in Luxembourg.[1] Migration historySince the 1980s, Indians have been coming to Luxembourg due to the growth of the IT industry in the country and the fact that the Indian company ArcelorMittal has its head office there. Today, there are about 200 Indian families living in the Grand Duchy. Most of the Indians in Luxembourg today are working in the financial sector or are into hotel management.[2][3] Language and religionIndians in Luxembourg speak Indian languages such as Hindi, Tamil and Telugu as well as local languages like German, French and Luxembourgish.
