Omega Seiki Mobility to invest $25M in Dubai EV plant: Location, timeline & more
Omega Seiki Mobility
has marked a significant milestone in its global expansion with the opening of its first overseas assembly facility in Dubai's
Jebel Ali Free Zone
(Jafza). The company has committed an investment of USD 25 million (around AED 92 million) over the next five years to establish the plant, which will cater to the growing demand for
clean mobility solutions
in the Middle East and Africa.
Spread across more than 42,000 square feet, the new facility will not only assemble OSM's portfolio of
electric two- and three-wheelers
but will also handle the storage and distribution of spare parts and automotive components. The plant is expected to begin operations by the end of 2025 and will create over 100 jobs in its first phase. Its strategic location in Dubai will give OSM access to over two billion consumers across the Middle East and African markets, while also boosting
UAE-India trade
in the clean-tech sector.

While the company's primary focus remains on electric vehicles, OSM also plans to introduce
CNG-powered models
for select African countries. The move reflects the company's understanding that in many regions, CNG can serve as a practical clean-fuel bridge until EV charging infrastructure is more widely available.

Independence Day 2025: Smart Charkhi hits market ahead of 15th August, uses smartphone…
With Independence Day 2025 just around the corner, the markets are buzzing with colourful kites and festive energy. This year, a new twist has been added to the age-old tradition of kite flying, the smart charkhi, a motorised winch that makes controlling your kite easier than ever. It uses a Type-C charging port, allowing users to charge it with the same cable they use for their smartphones. (BablaKites) What is a Smart Charkhi? In an age where everything from watches to TVs has turned 'smart', kite flying equipment has now joined the list. The smart charkhi, also called a motorised charkhi or firkhhi, is equipped with a rechargeable motor system that automatically winds the kite string at the press of a button. Mobile Finder: iPhone 17 Air expected to launch in India next month It uses a Type-C charging port, allowing users to charge it with the same cable they use for their smartphones. This innovation is particularly useful for solo kite flyers who no longer need a partner to help wind the string. How it works The charkhi's motor is activated through a button located on the handle. Once pressed, the string winds up automatically, enabling one-handed operation. This makes it easier to control the kite during competitions or long flying sessions. Charging is straightforward, plug in a Type-C cable, and the device is ready in about 1.5 to 2 hours. Battery life and performance On a single charge, the smart charkhi can run for 8 to 10 continuous hours, which translates to two to three days of regular kite flying. The high-quality motor is built for durability, and its battery can be replaced easily, ensuring a longer lifespan for the product. Price and availability The smart charkhi is available both online and offline, with prices starting around ₹2,000. As a reusable and Made-in-India product, it offers good value for kite enthusiasts who fly regularly during festivals like Makar Sankranti and Independence Day. With its combination of traditional fun and modern convenience, the smart charkhi is set to be a popular pick this festive season.
