Over 100 jobs to be created initially.

EV and CNG models planned for global expansion.
Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM), one of India’s leading electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, has announced a major step in its global expansion by opening its first international electric vehicle assembly plant in Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza). The company will invest USD 25 million (AED 92 million) over the next five years to meet the growing demand for clean and low-emission transport in the Middle East and Africa.
The new plant, covering over 42,000 square feet, will assemble OSM’s range of electric two- and three-wheelers. It will also serve as a hub for storage and distribution of auto components and spare parts. The facility is expected to begin assembly operations by the end of 2025.
Strategically located in Jafza, the plant will cater to export markets across the Middle East and Africa and create over 100 jobs in its initial phase. This move is also set to strengthen UAE-India trade ties in the clean technology sector.
Abdulla Al Hashmi, COO of Parks & Zones at DP World GCC, highlighted the importance of this launch.
“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 government support, rising demand, and better infrastructure, this facility brings innovative mobility solutions closer to the region and underlines Dubai’s role as a global automotive hub.”
Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman of Omega Seiki Mobility, called the launch a proud moment for the company.
“It is fitting that this milestone comes on Indian Independence Day. Jafza offers unmatched connectivity to more than 2 billion consumers and a business environment that supports speed, scale, and sustainability. Through Dubai, we aim to make clean mobility accessible and commercially viable for partners across the Middle East and Africa.”
While OSM’s immediate focus is on electric vehicles, the company also plans to introduce CNG-powered models in select African markets. This move recognises that in some regions, CNG is a practical clean-fuel bridge until EV infrastructure is fully developed.
Omega Seiki Mobility’s product portfolio includes:
OSM Rage+ – Electric three-wheeler cargo
OSM Stream – Electric three-wheeler passenger
Both models offer up to 270 km range, fast-charging, battery-swapping, and advanced IoT technology for real-time tracking and fleet optimisation.
In India, OSM has a strong presence with 160+ dealerships and over 20,000 vehicles already on the roads. The company’s vehicles have received certifications from key authorities such as ICAT and ARAI.
With the Dubai facility, OSM aims to use the UAE as its global launchpad for delivering clean, reliable, and efficient transport solutions to international markets.

With strong products, future-ready technology, and a clear vision, OSM is well-positioned to make a lasting impact on the region’s transport sector.
