Omega Seiki Mobility plans to invest $25 million in plant at Jafza, Dubai
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.

Tariff Shock: $7 bn India–US auto parts trade braces for big impact
The US's new tariffs on Indian auto components are set to cause immediate disruption, with analysts and industry experts warning that 15-20 per cent of India's exports to its largest auto-parts market could be lost in the short term, ToI reported. The US accounts for 27 per cent of India's auto component exports, meaning around 8 per cent of the country's total production will be directly affected, said Jitin Makkar, group head and senior vice-president (corporate ratings) at ICRA . According to the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA), exports to the US stood at nearly $7 billion in 2024. Of this, $3.6 billion worth of parts and components for cars and small trucks will now attract a 25 per cent duty. The bigger hit will come from the remaining $3 billion, which includes commercial vehicle parts, construction equipment components, off-highway machinery, and tractor and farm equipment parts, all of which will face a reciprocal tariff of 50 per cent. While larger original equipment manufacturers are already exploring alternative markets, the impact will be most severe for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that make up the bulk of the sector. Noble Cast Comp, an aluminium casting manufacturer in Bhosari, sends 60 per cent of its products to the US. Its chairman and managing director, Nitin Bhagwat, said American customers were already asking the company to share the tariff burden, which would squeeze profit margins. In Pimpri Chinchwad, R K Industries exports computer numerical control machined components to global auto firms, with 20 per cent of its shipments going to the US. 'Effects are expected to be felt from next month, with US customers likely seeking price reductions due to increased landing costs and clients may also explore alternative suppliers from countries with lower costs,' said the company's operations head, Nilesh Khaire. The effective duty rates will range from 25-28 per cent to 45-50 per cent, depending on the product category, and the extent of the impact will vary based on how essential the exported component is. Ravindra Patki, managing partner at Vector Consulting Group, said, '30-40 per cent of India's auto component exports to the US comes from programmes in which India is one of multiple approved suppliers with a defined share of business.' For larger exportable parts, Indian suppliers will be at a disadvantage compared with exporters from countries such as Japan, Vietnam and Indonesia, which face lower tariffs of 15-19 per cent. Component makers say much will depend on their individual ties with US buyers. Sipra Engineering managing director M Umadi said, 'US customers, accounting for 28-32 per cent of exports, have assured support if we maintain cost, quality and delivery standards, but may request cost reductions later.'
