India’s electric mobility market is witnessing a rapid transformation, and Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM) is taking the lead once again. With the launch of OSM Swayamgati, the company has introduced India’s first production-ready autonomous electric three-wheeler, combining clean electric propulsion with cutting-edge artificial intelligence.
This innovative EV marks a major step forward for the country’s smart mobility ecosystem a self-driving, zero-emission vehicle designed specifically for last-mile delivery, smart campuses, airports, and industrial zones.
The Vision Behind OSM Swayamgati
Omega Seiki Mobility, known for pioneering electric cargo and passenger 3-wheelers in India, aims to bridge the gap between affordability, automation, and sustainability. The company’s goal is to make autonomous technology accessible to every business and community, not just luxury fleet operators.
With Swayamgati, OSM envisions a future where urban and semi-urban mobility becomes smarter, safer, and driver-independent an autonomous EV built for Indian roads and real-world use cases.
Price and Variants
The OSM Swayamgati is priced competitively to encourage mass adoption of autonomous EVs:
- Passenger Version: ₹4 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Cargo Version: ₹4.15 lakh (ex-showroom)
This pricing strategy makes Swayamgati one of the most affordable autonomous vehicles in the world, aligning with OSM’s goal to democratize EV technology for India’s mobility sector.

These specifications show that Swayamgati is optimized for controlled environments areas like smart campuses, airports, business parks, and gated communities where vehicle paths can be safely pre-mapped.
The Autonomous Technology Inside
At the heart of Swayamgati lies a suite of AI-driven technologies developed to handle India’s complex driving conditions.
a. LiDAR and Sensor Fusion
The vehicle uses LiDAR sensors to detect obstacles up to 6 meters ahead. Combined with ultrasonic sensors, GPS tracking, and camera-based navigation, the system creates a real-time map of its surroundings.
b. Pre-Mapped Routes
Unlike general-purpose autonomous cars, Swayamgati follows pre-mapped routes, making it highly reliable for repetitive trips such as shuttle services or delivery circuits.
c. AI-Based Decision Making
The onboard AI processes real-time data from its sensors to make micro-adjustments in speed, braking, and steering ensuring safe navigation even in semi-dynamic environments.
d. Remote Safety Oversight
An integrated remote-control module allows supervisors to monitor or manually override the system in case of emergencies, adding an extra layer of operational safety.
Real-World Testing and Deployment
During its Phase 1 testing, OSM Swayamgati successfully completed a 3 km autonomous route with seven stops. The vehicle demonstrated its ability to detect and avoid obstacles, stop for passengers, and resume its path all without a human driver.
The next phase (Phase 2) involves real-world deployments in campuses, gated communities, airports, and industrial parks, where predictable routes make autonomous operation ideal.
Designed for Indian Conditions
Most global autonomous vehicles are designed for high-speed, lane-disciplined highways not for India’s dense, unpredictable traffic. Swayamgati, however, is custom engineered for India’s local environments.
Its compact design, low-speed operation, and robust sensors make it perfect for short-distance, low-risk zones. Moreover, OSM’s AI platform has been trained with Indian data, ensuring better handling of road irregularities, pedestrians, and mixed-traffic scenarios.
Manufacturing and Expansion Plans
Omega Seiki Mobility manufactures its vehicles at:
- Faridabad (Haryana) – 2 facilities
- Chakan (Pune) – 1 facility
- Dubai (JAFZA) – International assembly unit
The company also has a strong service network of over 200 centers across India, ensuring post-sales support and uptime for fleet operators.
OSM plans to scale Swayamgati production for export markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa once Indian deployment stabilizes.
Environmental and Economic Benefits
Zero Emissions
As a 100% electric 3-wheeler, Swayamgati produces no tailpipe emissions, contributing directly to India’s net-zero mobility goals.
Lower Operating Costs
Electric drivetrains and the absence of a driver (for fleet operations) drastically reduce fuel and manpower costs key for logistics and institutional transport.
Safety and Efficiency
With real-time obstacle detection and speed control, the risk of accidents or human errors is minimized, while efficiency remains high for repetitive-route operations.
Potential Use Cases
- Airports and Metro Stations: For automated passenger shuttles.
- Industrial and IT Parks: For goods and staff transport.
- University Campuses: As sustainable campus shuttles.
- Smart Cities: As part of connected, shared EV infrastructure.
- Tourist Zones: For eco-friendly sightseeing or short rides.
The Future of Autonomous Mobility in India
OSM Swayamgati represents a pivotal step toward autonomous public and commercial transport in India. Its successful launch could open the doors for more AI-integrated EVs, making autonomous mobility not just a futuristic concept, but an everyday reality.
The model also showcases India’s growing capacity for indigenous EV innovation blending smart tech with cost efficiency for the mass market.
