At Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM), its busy times! The reveal of the MIKA has been followed by a string of unveils in the cargo and people mover segment. The first electric four-wheeler from its stable M1KA set for launch in the Small Commercial Vehicle (SCV) segment has the platform evolving as a  scalable and modular mother platform. Its derivative M1KA 3.0 has taken shape of a four-wheeler electric cargo Light Commercial Vehicle (eLCV). The company is working on multiple projects based on the same platform, confirmed Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman at the company. He said, "The M1KA is a very special product and this architecture will be used as a base for many of our upcoming projects." To align its domestic and export aspirations, among many measures is the strategic decision to make the Vizag greenfield plant an export hub of eLCVs. In the first phase, OSM will cater to the growing demand from the ASEAN, Gulf and Africa regions. In phase two, the company aspires to tap the export potential to advanced markets like the US and Europe.
