Omega Seiki Mobility, a leading Indian electric vehicle maker, is stepping onto the global stage. The company will invest USD 25 million (AED 92 million) to set up its first overseas assembly plant in Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza). The move is aimed at tapping the rising demand for clean transport across the Middle East and Africa.
Spread across 42,000 square feet, the new plant will build Omega Seiki electric vehicles. It will also store and distribute automotive components and spare parts. Operations are expected to begin by the end of 2025.
Jafza’s location offers unmatched connectivity. From here, Omega Seiki Mobility plans to serve multiple markets in the region. The project will create more than 100 jobs in its initial phase. It will also strengthen clean technology trade between India and the UAE.
Abdulla Al Hashmi, Chief Operating Officer of Parks & Zones at DP World GCC, said demand is accelerating fast. “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.”
For Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman of Omega Seiki Mobility, this is a strategic step. “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 main focus will be on electric vehicles, the company has other plans. It will also introduce compressed natural gas models in select African countries. These will act as a bridge in markets where electric vehicle infrastructure is still developing.
OSM already has a strong presence in India. Its range includes the OSM Rage+, a three-wheeler cargo electric commercial vehicle, and the OSM Stream, a passenger model. Both offer up to 270 km of range, fast charging, battery swapping, and IoT-based fleet tracking.
The company operates more than 160 dealerships in India. It has sold over 20,000 vehicles, all certified by the International Centre for Automotive Technology and the Automotive Research Association of India.
With the Jafza facility, Omega Seiki Mobility is setting up a regional base for growth. From Dubai, it will scale production and promote sustainable transport in emerging markets. This $25 million investment underscores the company’s belief in the future of electric commercial vehicles in the Middle East and Africa.
