Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM), an Indian electric vehicle manufacturer, said it has set up its first international electric vehicle assembly plant in Jafza and would invest $25 million (AED 92 million) over the next five years to accelerate its global expansion and meet rising demand for low-emission transport in the region.
Spanning over 42 000 square feet, the first EV plant in Jafza will assemble OSM’s range of electric two-and three-wheelers as well as handle storage and distribution of auto components and spare parts, the company said.
The facility is expected to commence assembly by the end of 2025. The plant will create over 100 jobs in its initial phase, it added.
Abdulla Al Hashmi, COO, Parks & Zones, DP World GCC, said, “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,” he said.
Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman of Omega Seiki Mobility, said, “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,” he said.
While OSM’s immediate focus is on electric vehicles, it also plans to introduce CNG- powered models for select African markets.
