India has taken a giant leap in the electric mobility revolution. Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM) has achieved a landmark breakthrough by launching ‘Swayamgati’, the world’s first autonomous electric 3-wheeler developed in India. Unlike conventional EVs, this model has been built with advanced AI systems that allow it to operate without a driver, making it a step forward in smart urban mobility.

The company has introduced the passenger version at an entry price of ₹4 lakh, while the cargo variant starts at ₹4.15 lakh. On a single charge, the vehicle can cover up to 120 km, making it practical for both passenger rides and commercial logistics.

Built on an AI-Powered Platform

‘Swayamgati’ is built on OSM’s new EV platform. It comes with an AI-based driving system. The 3-wheeler is made for short trips. It can run easily inside airports, industrial parks, and busy city areas without a driver. The routes are mapped in advance, so the vehicle follows fixed paths. This makes travel safe and reliable, even in heavy traffic.

Game Changer for India’s Commercial Vehicle Market

According to a McKinsey 2025 report, the global autonomous vehicle market is projected to surpass $620 billion by 2030. With ‘Swayamgati’, India has placed itself on the global map as an innovation leader. India’s commercial vehicle market depends a lot on trucks, pickups, mini trucks, and buses. Now, the launch of an autonomous electric 3-wheeler can change the game. It gives a new option for last-mile delivery. It can also help solve traffic and urban travel problems in a cleaner and more sustainable way.

A Vision for Future Mobility

OSM Founder and Chairman Uday Narang highlighted, “Swayamgati is not just a product launch, it is a bold step towards the future of Indian transport. Autonomous vehicles are no longer a luxury; they are a necessity for nations looking for affordable and scalable mobility solutions.”

He further added that India doesn’t need to follow global trends; instead, it can lead them with innovation.

Technology Made in India, for India

The autonomous 3-wheeler integrates advanced systems such as AI, Lidar, and autonomous navigation, all developed at an affordable cost for the Indian market. Vivek Dhawan, Chief Strategy Officer at OSM, said, “Swayamgati is the result of our clear vision and hard work. It overcomes the limitations of traditional EVs while introducing intelligent mobility solutions for everyday use.”

Successful Testing and Next Phase

‘Swayamgati’ has already completed a 3 km autonomous test run, covering 7 stops, performing real-time obstacle detection, and ensuring passenger safety – all without a driver. The company is now preparing for Phase 2, where the vehicle will be deployed for commercial operations. Carrying the proud tag of “Made in India”, the vehicle is set to redefine not just electric mobility but also the future of 3-wheelers, pickups, trucks, and mini trucks in the evolving Indian market.
