Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM) has announced the formalization of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Punjab National Bank (PNB). This strategic partnership signifies OSM’s commitment to facilitating streamlined vehicle inventory funding for its dealer partners, while concurrently extending comprehensive retail financing solutions to their clientele.
In a display of their resolute dedication to advancing sustainable mobility, Omega Seiki Mobility has already successfully financed 8,000 electric vehicles, amounting to a noteworthy disbursement of INR 350 crores, up to the present date. This substantial investment serves as a testament to their mission of propelling the adoption of electric vehicles across India. Looking forward, the company has set forth ambitious plans to further finance an additional 7,500 electric vehicles, with a cumulative value of INR 300 crores, over the course of the ensuing three years.
Enabling affordable and inventive financing solutions for both rural and urban customers plays a pivotal role in driving the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and advancing sustainable mobility within the industry. The importance of cost-effective and innovative financing options cannot be overstated, particularly in fostering the growth of EVs in both rural and urban contexts. In rural areas, the availability of dependable and economical transportation is crucial for socio-economic advancement. The collaboration between Omega Seiki Mobility and Punjab National Bank has strategically placed emphasis on making electric vehicles accessible to these communities. This includes not only the vehicles themselves but also localized charging infrastructure.
By doing so, rural areas gain access to cleaner and more efficient transportation options, sparking positive transformations such as emission reduction, lowered operational expenses, employment generation, improved livelihoods, and additional income streams for riders, all contributing to socio-economic progress. Concurrently, in urban settings, financing solutions address the environmental concerns of city dwellers. Making electric vehicles financially viable by reducing interest rates for financing broadens the scope of electric mobility adoption. This, in turn, supports India’s overarching sustainable development objectives.
This joint initiative by OSM and PNB contributes to a cleaner urban environment and aligns with the nation’s sustainable goals. In addition, this collaboration aims to penetrate further into the EV ecosystem, enhancing the impact and reach of electric mobility across various segments of society.

“Electric mobility isn’t limited to urban centres; it’s a transformative force that can uplift the lives of millions in rural India. By prioritizing access to electric three-wheelers, we are empowering rural India with cleaner, more efficient transportation options and generous earning potentials.
