Omega Seiki Mobility to Invest $25 Million in Electric Vehicle Assembly Plant at Dubai’s Jafza

Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM), an Indian electric vehicle manufacturer, has inaugurated its first international assembly facility in Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza), Dubai, with a planned investment of USD 25 million (AED 92 million) over the next five years. The move marks a significant step in the company’s global expansion strategy, targeting growing demand for low-emission transportation across the Middle East and Africa.

The new facility, spanning over 42,000 square feet, will assemble OSM’s range of electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers. It will also serve as a hub for storage and distribution of automotive components and spare parts. Operations are expected to begin by the end of 2025.

Strategically located within Jafza—one of the world’s largest and most connected free zones—the plant is positioned to support exports across the Middle East and Africa. The project is expected to create more than 100 jobs in its initial phase and contribute to strengthening trade ties between India and the UAE in the clean technology sector.

Abdulla Al Hashmi, Chief Operating Officer of Parks & Zones at DP World GCC, noted that Jafza continues to attract manufacturers seeking access to high-growth markets. “The MENA region’s electric vehicle market is projected to reach $14.5 billion by 2029, supported by favorable government policies, increasing consumer demand, and expanding charging infrastructure,” he said. “This development reinforces Dubai’s position as a global hub for the automotive industry.”

Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman of Omega Seiki Mobility, stated that the launch aligns with the company’s goal of expanding clean mobility solutions internationally. “Jafza offers strategic access to over 2 billion consumers and a business environment conducive to scalability and sustainability,” Narang said. “From Dubai, we aim to deliver accessible and commercially viable mobility options across the Middle East and Africa.”

While the primary focus of the facility will be on electric vehicles, OSM also plans to introduce compressed natural gas (CNG)-powered models in select African markets. The company views CNG as a transitional clean fuel solution in regions where EV infrastructure is still developing.

OSM’s product portfolio includes the OSM Rage+, a three-wheeler cargo vehicle, and the OSM Stream, a three-wheeler passenger model. Both offer a range of up to 270 km, support fast charging and battery swapping, and feature IoT integration for real-time vehicle tracking and fleet management.

The company currently operates more than 160 dealerships in India and has sold over 20,000 vehicles domestically. Its vehicles are certified by Indian regulatory bodies, including the International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT) and the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI).

With the Jafza facility, OSM aims to use Dubai as a regional base to scale its operations and promote sustainable transport solutions across emerging markets.
