Omega Seiki Mobility Invests AED 92 Million To Establish Electric Vehicle Assembly Plant In Dubai's Jafza

Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM), an Indian electric vehicle maker, is expanding globally by establishing its first international assembly plant in Jafza. The company plans to invest AED92 million (US$25 million) over five years. This move aims to meet the growing demand for low-emission vehicles in the region. The facility will cover 42,000 square feet and assemble OSM's electric two- and three-wheelers while managing storage and distribution of parts.

The plant's strategic location will serve export markets across the Middle East and Africa. It is expected to create over 100 jobs initially, enhancing UAE-India trade in clean technology. Assembly operations are set to begin by the end of 2025. OSM's expansion aligns with the increasing demand for sustainable transport solutions in these regions.

Abdulla Al Hashmi, COO of Parks & Zones at DP World GCC, highlighted that more manufacturers are choosing Jafza to access high-growth markets in the Middle East and Africa. He noted, "More manufacturers are turning to Jafza to tap high-growth markets across the Middle East, Africa and beyond." The MENA EV market is projected to reach US$14.5 billion by 2029 due to supportive government policies and infrastructure development.

Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman of Omega Seiki Mobility, expressed pride in launching on Indian Independence Day. He stated, "This launch is a proud moment for us and fitting that it comes on Indian Independence Day." Narang emphasised that Jafza offers unmatched connectivity to over 2 billion consumers and a business environment conducive to speed, scale, and sustainability.

OSM's product offerings include the OSM Rage+ cargo three-wheeler and OSM Stream passenger three-wheeler. These vehicles feature a range of up to 270 km, fast-charging capabilities, battery-swapping options, and IoT technology for real-time tracking and fleet optimisation. With over 160 dealerships in India selling more than 20,000 vehicles already on roads, OSM aims to use Dubai as a global launchpad for clean transport solutions.

While focusing on electric vehicles currently, OSM plans to introduce CNG-powered models in select African markets. This approach recognises CNG as a practical clean-fuel bridge until EV infrastructure matures in those regions. This strategy reflects OSM's commitment to providing diverse sustainable mobility solutions tailored to regional needs.

The establishment of this facility underscores Dubai's role as a global hub for the automotive sector. It brings innovative mobility solutions closer to the region while supporting UAE's vision for sustainable development. As demand for low-emission transport grows, OSM's presence in Jafza positions it well for future opportunities.
