Autoworld to Invest AED 45 Million in New Jafza Logistics Hub

Autoworld International FZCO, the regional distributor for India’s Bajaj Auto Ltd, has announced a significant investment of AED 45 million to establish a new logistics and distribution hub in the Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza). The new facility is designed to enhance the company’s operations across key markets in the Middle East and Africa.

Spanning 162,000 square feet, the state-of-the-art hub will include an assembly plant for Bajaj motorcycles and three-wheelers, as well as dedicated areas for the storage and distribution of spare parts, tyres, and lubricants. The facility is scheduled to be fully operational by 2026 and is also expected to introduce new product lines through global collaborations.

Strengthening Regional Automotive Reach

The official signing of the project took place in the presence of prominent figures, including Abdullah Bin Damithan, CEO and Managing Director of DP World GCC; Abdulla Al Hashmi, Chief Operating Officer, Parks & Zones at DP World GCC; along with Autoworld's leadership — Chairman Kumar Motiram Lakhani, Managing Director Monish Lakhani, and Director Vishal Lakhani.

Commenting on the development, Abdulla Al Hashmi said, “Autoworld’s expansion highlights the strength of Jafza’s integrated trade and logistics platform, which connects 940 automotive companies from 88 countries. In 2024 alone, Jafza facilitated automotive trade worth nearly AED 102 billion.”

Driving Employment and Industrial Development

The project is expected to create more than 100 direct and indirect job opportunities, further supporting Dubai’s mobility and logistics ecosystem. Once operational, the facility will improve supply chain efficiency for Bajaj Auto’s regional distribution network and serve as a foundation for future expansion.

This investment reinforces Jafza’s position as a key hub for the automotive industry and emphasizes Dubai’s role as a strategic gateway for global trade and industrial innovation.
