Omega Seiki Mobility expands Globally with Dubai EV manufacturing facility

Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM), a prominent Indian manufacturer of electric vehicles, has officially announced the establishment of its first international assembly plant in Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza). With an investment commitment of USD 25 million (AED 92 million) spread over five years, the new facility is poised to support the company’s ambitious global expansion and cater to the surging demand for environmentally conscious transport solutions across the region.

Occupying over 42,000 square feet, the state-of-the-art plant will focus on the assembly of OSM’s range of electric two- and three-wheelers. In addition, it will serve as a strategic hub for the storage and distribution of automotive components and spare parts. Operational readiness is expected by the end of 2025.

Strategically located to provide access to export markets across the Middle East and Africa, the facility will generate over 100 jobs during its initial phase. The move is also set to enhance UAE-India trade ties in the burgeoning clean technology space, solidifying Dubai’s growing status as a pivotal automotive and mobility hub.

Abdulla Al Hashmi, Chief Operating Officer – Parks & Zones, DP World GCC, remarked: “More manufacturers are turning to Jafza to tap high-growth markets across the Middle East, Africa and beyond. With the MENA EV market projected to reach $14.5 billion by 2029, driven by supporting government policies, rising demand and expanding infrastructure, this facility brings innovative mobility solutions closer to the region and underlines Dubai’s role as a global hub for the automotive sector.”

Timed to coincide with Indian Independence Day, the launch holds particular significance for OSM’s founder and chairman, Uday Narang.
“This launch is a proud moment for us and fitting that it comes on Indian Independence Day. Jafza gives us unmatched connectivity to more than 2 billion consumers and a business environment that enables speed, scale and sustainability. Through Dubai, we aim to make clean mobility accessible and commercially viable for partners across the Middle East and Africa,” Narang stated.

While OSM’s primary focus remains electric vehicles, the company is also exploring compressed natural gas (CNG)-powered alternatives for select African markets. The strategy acknowledges the infrastructural realities in certain regions, where CNG continues to serve as a practical transition fuel until electric charging networks become more established.

The company’s product portfolio includes the OSM Rage+ (a three-wheeled cargo vehicle) and the OSM Stream (a three-wheeled passenger model), both offering a range of up to 270 kilometres. These vehicles boast fast-charging and battery-swapping capabilities, in addition to IoT integration for real-time tracking and fleet management.

With a robust dealership network comprising over 160 outlets across India and more than 20,000 vehicles already on the road, OSM has earned certifications from respected testing authorities such as ICAT and ARAI. Now, with Dubai as its international launchpad, the company is poised to scale its clean transport solutions to new geographies and market segments.
