The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) has announced its support for Samvardhana Motherson International Limited’s (Motherson) new manufacturing hub in Abu Dhabi. This initiative aims to bolster the emirate’s reputation as a leading global hub for advanced manufacturing and automotive supply chains.

The partnership underscores ADIO’s commitment to enhancing advanced manufacturing capabilities and strengthening high-value supply chains across priority industrial sectors. This move is set to reinforce Abu Dhabi’s competitiveness as both a regional and global centre for manufacturing and export.

The new facility will be a large-scale integrated manufacturing site dedicated to producing a variety of automotive components for Motherson’s global operations and third-party original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers. The project is anticipated to generate over 1,000 jobs in technical, engineering, manufacturing, and corporate roles, supporting Emiratisation and fostering greater participation of national talent. Additionally, it will contribute to knowledge transfer and capability building in advanced industrial sectors.

Located within the Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD), the facility is being developed on a single 87,652 square metre land plot, with construction already in progress. Once operational, it will function as a regional manufacturing and export base, taking advantage of Abu Dhabi’s logistics infrastructure, including connectivity through AD Ports Group, to facilitate efficient access to regional and global markets and enhance supply chain integration.

This collaboration highlights Abu Dhabi’s ongoing focus on enabling high-value industrial investment through a coordinated ecosystem that incorporates infrastructure, connectivity, and business support. It is expected to contribute significantly to expanding non-oil exports, strengthening local supply chains, advancing industrial capabilities, and reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s status as a competitive global manufacturing and export hub.
