Karwa Motors is enhancing its commitment to the local economy by increasing opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Oman’s automotive manufacturing and service sectors. By investing in local businesses, the company aims to build a stronger, more sustainable industrial base in Oman.
Since its commercial launch, Karwa Motors has spent over OMR 2.5 million on local purchases, demonstrating its dedication to strengthening local supply chains and fostering a competitive business environment. In 2024, the company awarded OMR 1.1 million in contracts to 93 local SMEs. This initiative is part of Karwa Motors’ strategy to reduce reliance on imports, streamline the supply chain, and boost Oman’s automotive industry by supporting local suppliers.
Dr. Ibrahim bin Ali Al Balushi, CEO of Karwa Motors, emphasized the importance of working with local suppliers to ensure long-term sustainability for Oman’s industrial sector. He noted that the company has been consistently investing in local businesses since its inception, awarding contracts and creating jobs to support economic growth.
The collaboration with local suppliers brings multiple advantages, including lower import costs, faster supply delivery, and reduced risks from global supply chain disruptions. Moreover, sourcing locally ensures quicker access to spare parts and services, which improves production efficiency and service quality.
Looking forward, Dr. Al Balushi mentioned plans to expand local purchases as Karwa Motors grows its operations and secures more contracts. The company also plans to launch training programs to help local suppliers meet both local and international standards, further boosting their competitiveness in regional and global markets.
With these efforts, Karwa Motors continues to contribute to the growth and sustainability of Oman’s industrial sector, while empowering local businesses to thrive.
