The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) has announced its support for Samvardhana Motherson International Limited’s (Motherson) manufacturing hub in Abu Dhabi, further strengthening the emirate’s position as a global hub for advanced manufacturing and automotive supply chains.

The partnership reflects ADIO’s focus on enabling advanced manufacturing and strengthening high-value supply chains across priority industrial sectors. It also reinforces Abu Dhabi’s competitiveness as a regional and global centre for manufacturing and export.

The project supports the development of a large-scale integrated manufacturing facility to produce a range of automotive components for Motherson’s global operations and third-party OEM customers. It is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs across technical, engineering, manufacturing and corporate functions, supporting Emiratisation, enabling greater participation of national talent, and contributing to knowledge transfer and capability building in advanced industrial sectors.

Located within Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD), the site is being developed in phases on a single land plot of approximately 87,652 sq m, with construction already underway. Once fully operational, the facility will serve as a regional manufacturing and export base, leveraging Abu Dhabi’s logistics infrastructure, including connectivity through AD Ports Group, to enable efficient access to regional and global markets and strengthen supply-chain integration.

The partnership underlines Abu Dhabi’s focus on enabling high-value industrial investment through a coordinated ecosystem that integrates infrastructure, connectivity and business support. It will contribute to expanding non-oil exports, strengthening local supply chains, advancing industrial capabilities and reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s position as a competitive global manufacturing and export hub.
