Spanning 335 acres with a land footprint of 15 million square feet and a total construction area reaching roughly 25 million square feet, the development will support sectors such as electric and hydrogen vehicle manufacturing, semiconductors, renewable energy, and eVTOL aircraft. The mixed‐use nature of the project includes industrial facilities alongside residential, educational, healthcare and commercial infrastructure—medical colleges, hospitals, shopping complexes, hypermarkets, offices, warehouses, banks and community centres will all form part of the ecosystem.
Erisha E Mobility, Rana Group’s electric vehicle arm, will use the hub as its base for expansion into the Middle East and Africa while consolidating its operations in India. Rana Group has enlisted Capital Engineering Design & Engineering Consultants for design, GHV Infra as EPC contractor, N3XUS for ESG and SDG compliance oversight, and AINS Group as architects and professional management consultants.
Officials from Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone have affirmed that the facility is aligned with the UAE’s operational plan to increase industrial contribution to GDP under its industrial vision, including “Operation 300Bn” which aims for the manufacturing sector’s contribution to reach Dh300 billion by 2031. The project represents one of the largest single investments by an Indian conglomerate into the UAE’s manufacturing sector.
Several industry analysts view the move as part of broader trends: UAE firms and foreign investors are increasingly focusing on green energy, advanced manufacturing, and making supply chains more resilient. The emphasis on EVs, hydrogen vehicles and semiconductors reflects global pressures such as climate goals and shifting trade tariffs, which are encouraging manufacturers to establish new bases with favourable regulation, infrastructure and connectivity.
