Dubai: Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM), a leading Indian electric vehicle manufacturer, has launched its first international electric vehicle assembly plant in Jafza, investing AED92 million (US$25 million), over the next five years to accelerate its global expansion and meet rising demand for low-emission transport in the region.
According to Emirates News Agency, the facility, spanning over 42,000 square feet, will assemble OSM's range of electric two-and three-wheelers and handle storage and distribution of auto components and spare parts. The plant is expected to start assembly by the end of 2025.
Strategically positioned to serve export markets across the Middle East and Africa, the plant will create over 100 jobs in its initial phase and strengthen UAE-India trade in clean technology. Abdulla Al Hashmi, COO, Parks and Zones, DP World GCC, noted that more manufacturers are turning to Jafza to access high-growth markets in the region. With the MENA EV market projected to reach US$14.5 billion by 2029, this facility emphasizes Dubai's role as a global hub for the automotive sector.
Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman of Omega Seiki Mobility, highlighted the significance of the launch coinciding with Indian Independence Day. He emphasized that Jafza provides unmatched connectivity to over 2 billion consumers and a business environment that supports speed, scale, and sustainability. Through Dubai, OSM aims to make clean mobility accessible and commercially viable across the Middle East and Africa.
While focusing on electric vehicles, OSM also plans to introduce CNG-powered models for select African markets, recognizing CNG as a practical clean-fuel bridge until EV infrastructure matures. OSM's product line includes the three-wheeler cargo OSM Rage+ and three-wheeler passenger OSM Stream, offering a range of features like fast-charging, battery-swapping capabilities, and IoT technology for real-time tracking and fleet optimization. With over 160 dealerships in India and more than 20,000 vehicles already on Indian roads, OSM is using Dubai as a global launchpad for clean transport solutions.
