Omega Seiki To Invest $25m In Dubai EV Assembly Plant

18 Aug 2025 CW Team

Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM) will invest USD 25 million (AED 92 million) over the next five years in its new international electric vehicle assembly plant at Jafza, Dubai. The facility, launched on Wednesday, spans 42,000 sq. ft and will handle assembly of OSM’s two- and three-wheeler EVs as well as the storage and distribution of auto components and spare parts.

Assembly operations are expected to begin by the end of 2025. Strategically located to serve Middle Eastern and African markets, the plant will create over 100 jobs in its initial phase and further strengthen clean-technology trade ties between India and the UAE.

“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,” said Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman of OSM.

While the immediate focus will be on EVs, the company also plans to introduce CNG-powered models in select African markets, positioning CNG as a transitional clean-fuel option until EV infrastructure matures.

Abdulla Al Hashmi, COO of Parks and Zones at DP World GCC, noted that with the MENA EV market projected to reach USD 14.5 billion by 2029, Dubai is emerging as a global automotive hub. “This facility brings innovative mobility solutions closer to the region,” he said.

OSM’s portfolio includes the three-wheeler cargo Rage+ and passenger vehicle Stream, both offering ranges of up to 270 km, fast-charging, battery-swapping, and IoT-enabled fleet optimisation.
