Omega Seiki Mobility has broken new ground with the launch of Swayamgati, India’s first Self-Driving Electric Three-Wheeler. The vehicle, unveiled on September 30, brings together two major automotive shifts – electrification and autonomy – into a practical three-wheeler format suited for cargo and passenger use.
A Leap for Indian Mobility
While electric three-wheelers have grown steadily in India’s mobility space, Omega Seiki has gone a step further by making autonomy part of the equation. The Swayamgati is being positioned as a smart solution for last-mile cargo and shared mobility in environments where predictability and safety can be controlled, such as gated campuses, industrial hubs, and airport corridors.
Key Highlights of Swayamgati
- Battery & Range: A 10.3 kWh battery offering up to 120 km on a single charge
- Autonomy System: AI-driven package with LiDAR, GPS, and on-board sensors capable of spotting obstacles within six meters
- Variants & Pricing: Passenger model at ₹4.00 lakh, cargo model at ₹4.15 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Pilot Testing: Successfully completed Phase 1 trials on a 3 km route with multiple stops
These features make it one of the most advanced three-wheelers built specifically for Indian traffic and operating conditions.
Production and Deployment Target
Omega Seiki has already begun taking orders, with deliveries scheduled to roll out immediately. The company has announced plans to produce 1,500 units over the next two years, underlining its confidence in the project. Early supplies are expected to go to institutional buyers and organized ecosystems like technology parks and smart city authorities.
What the Company Says
Uday Narang, Chairman of Omega Seiki Mobility, called the launch “a bold step into the future of Indian transport”. He stressed that autonomous mobility is no longer a distant concept but a present-day necessity.
Narang also added, “India should not simply follow the trends set in global markets. With Swayamgati, we are showing that world-class technologies can be engineered here, at a price point our market can actually adopt.”
Vivek Dhawan, the company’s Chief Strategy Officer, pointed out that this launch is about democratizing autonomy. “Our goal is to make advanced systems part of everyday Indian transport, not just premium international pilots,” he noted.
Changing the Segment Landscape
The Swayamgati is entering a space where competition has so far been focused mainly on conventional electric three-wheelers like Omega Seiki’s own Stream and NRG. Those vehicles addressed efficiency, payloads, and battery range, but required human drivers.
By combining electric propulsion with self-driving capabilities, Omega Seiki has carved a first-mover advantage. Unlike global autonomous test fleets such as Waymo or Cruise – which cost millions and are limited to restricted pilot projects – Swayamgati has been priced aggressively to serve real-world needs in India.
Looking Ahead
The arrival of Swayamgati signals the start of a new chapter in India’s electric mobility journey. Its immediate impact may be felt in controlled zones, but the larger takeaway is clear: autonomous technology is finally entering the Indian market in an accessible format.
For businesses and institutions looking to make last-mile operations cleaner and smarter, Omega Seiki’s latest offering could well be the game-changer.
