Spread over 42,000 square feet, the plant will assemble OSM’s electric two- and three-wheelers, store and distribute auto components, and is slated to begin operations by the end of 2025. The facility will initially generate over 100 jobs and serve as a hub for exports to the Middle East and African markets, according to a statement.

“With the MENA (Middle East North Africa) EV market projected to reach $14.5 billion by 2029, this facility brings innovative mobility solutions closer to the region and underlines Dubai’s role as a global hub for the automotive sector,” said Abdulla Al Hashmi, COO, Parks & Zones, DP World GCC.

OSM founder and chairman Uday Narang said Jafza offered unmatched connectivity to more than two billion consumers” and the scale needed to make clean mobility accessible and viable across the Middle East and Africa.

While EVs remain OSM’s core focus, the company plans to introduce CNG-powered models in select African markets where gas remains a practical clean-fuel alternative until charging infrastructure expands.

OSM’s portfolio includes the OSM Rage+ cargo three-wheeler and OSM Stream passenger model, both offering ranges of up to 270 km, fast-charging and battery-swapping options, and IoT-based fleet optimisation. With over 160 dealerships in India and 20,000 units already on the road, the company aims to use Dubai as its global launchpad for clean transport solutions.
