OSM Opens First Global EV Plant in Jafza,Dubai

Dubai-Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM), one of India’s leading electric vehicle manufacturers, has announced the launch of its first international electric vehicle assembly plant in Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza), Dubai, marking a significant milestone in its global expansion strategy. Spanning more than 42,000 square feet, the Jafza facility will assemble OSM’s flagship range of electric two- and three-wheelers while also managing storage, distribution, and spare parts for the wider region. The plant is scheduled to begin operations by the end of 2025 and is expected to create over 100 jobs during its initial phase, highlighting its role in boosting both economic growth and the adoption of sustainable mobility solutions.

Strategically positioned in Dubai, the plant offers Omega Seiki Mobility direct access to Middle East and African markets, leveraging Jafza’s connectivity to over 2 billion consumers. With the MENA electric vehicle market projected to reach USD 14.5 billion by 2029, supported by favorable government policies, growing consumer demand, and expanding charging infrastructure, OSM’s investment is both timely and impactful. According to DP World GCC, manufacturers are increasingly choosing Jafza as a base to tap into high-growth regions, and OSM’s entry further reinforces Dubai’s role as a global automotive and clean mobility hub.

Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman of Omega Seiki Mobility, emphasized the significance of this move, stating that Jafza provides unmatched connectivity and an enabling ecosystem that supports scale, speed, and sustainability. He also noted the symbolic importance of launching the project on Indian Independence Day, marking OSM’s transition from being a domestic EV leader to becoming a global player in clean transportation. While the company’s immediate focus remains on electric vehicles, it also plans to introduce CNG-powered models in select African markets, recognizing that in regions where EV infrastructure is still under development, CNG offers a practical and transitional clean-fuel alternative.

OSM’s product portfolio includes vehicles such as the OSM Rage+ cargo three-wheeler and the OSM Stream passenger three-wheeler, both of which offer ranges of up to 270 kilometers, fast-charging and battery-swapping capabilities, and IoT-enabled technologies that allow for real-time tracking and fleet optimization. With certifications from ICAT and ARAI, and a network of more than 160 dealerships in India having sold over 20,000 vehicles to date, OSM is leveraging its proven domestic success to position Dubai as its global launchpad for electric mobility.

For India’s EV sector, OSM’s expansion into Jafza represents more than just international growth it symbolizes the country’s evolving role as a contributor to the global clean mobility ecosystem. By aligning with the UAE’s sustainability agenda and focusing on scalable, affordable solutions for urban logistics and passenger mobility, Omega Seiki Mobility is setting the stage for Indian EV manufacturers to play a defining role in shaping transport solutions across the Middle East and Africa. This strategic move not only strengthens UAE-India clean technology collaboration but also demonstrates how Indian companies can lead with innovation, adaptability, and sustainability in international markets.
