Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM), a leading electric vehicle manufacturer from India, is set to launch its first international electric vehicle assembly plant in Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza), Dubai. The company will invest AED92 million (US$25 million) over the next five years to support its global expansion and meet the growing demand for low-emission transport in the region.
Plant Overview and Strategic Location
The new plant, which will span 42,000 square feet, will assemble OSM’s range of electric two- and three-wheelers. In addition to vehicle assembly, the facility will handle the storage and distribution of auto components and spare parts. The plant is expected to begin assembly by the end of 2025.
Strategically located in Jafza, the plant is positioned to serve export markets across the Middle East and Africa, which are expected to see significant growth in electric vehicle demand. The facility is also expected to create over 100 jobs during its initial phase.
Jafza’s Role in MENA EV Market Growth
According to Abdulla Al Hashmi, COO of Parks & Zones at DP World GCC, Jafza continues to attract manufacturers looking to tap into high-growth markets across the Middle East, Africa, and beyond. With the MENA EV market projected to reach US$14.5 billion by 2029, the region’s growing demand for electric vehicles and supporting government policies are key factors in the success of OSM’s new plant. This facility also underscores Dubai’s position as a global hub for the automotive sector.
Omega Seiki’s Vision for Clean Mobility
Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman of Omega Seiki Mobility, expressed pride in the launch, which coincides with Indian Independence Day. He highlighted Jafza’s unmatched connectivity to over 2 billion consumers and its conducive business environment, which fosters speed, scale, and sustainability. Narang stated, “Through Dubai, we aim to make clean mobility accessible and commercially viable for partners across the Middle East and Africa.”
Product Line and Future Plans
OSM’s immediate focus will be on electric vehicles (EVs), including models such as the OSM Rage+ (cargo) and OSM Stream (passenger), both three-wheelers with a range of up to 270 km. The vehicles will feature fast-charging and battery-swapping capabilities, along with IoT technology for real-time tracking and fleet optimization. OSM also plans to introduce CNG-powered models for select African markets, recognizing that CNG can serve as a clean-fuel bridge until EV infrastructure in those regions matures.
With 160 dealerships across India and over 20,000 vehicles already on Indian roads, OSM aims to use Dubai as a global launchpad for its clean transport solutions, with certifications from key authorities like ICAT and ARAI.
