Here's why WeRide, Uber expect Abu Dhabi's ride volume to double
Image: Supplied Autonomous driving technology firm The partnership with the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) now enables Robotaxi service coverage across nearly half of Abu Dhabi's core urban areas, including Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, and highway corridors to and from Zayed International Airport. Since their joint launch in Abu Dhabi in December 2024, WeRide and Uber have tripled their 'Robotaxi' fleet. The companies plan to scale to hundreds of vehicles in the emirate by year-end, with service expansions slated for Khalifa City, Masdar City, and other high-density downtown zones. 'Al Reem and Al Maryah Islands are high-demand areas and serve as key gateways to Abu Dhabi,' said Jennifer Li, CFO and head of International at WeRide. 'This expansion gives us the opportunity to reach more passengers, showcase our advanced technology in complex urban settings, and further accelerate the deployment of autonomous vehicles across the city.' Read: WeRide fleet highlights The Robotaxi fleet features WeRide's GXR model, a mass-produced autonomous vehicle designed for commercial deployment, accommodating up to five passengers. Each vehicle is expected to complete dozens of trips daily over a 12-hour operating window, with average ride distances exceeding six kilometres. The expansion builds on Abu Dhabi's broader strategy to integrate sustainable and intelligent transport solutions into its mobility infrastructure. 'This expansion marks an important milestone in Abu Dhabi's journey towards realising its vision for a smarter and safer mobility system,' said Dr Abdulla Hamad AlGhfeli, acting DG of the ITC. 'We are committed to embracing innovative and sustainable solutions to enhance our transport network and improve the quality of life for our residents.' Passengers can now access the expanded Robotaxi service via the Uber and TXAI mobile apps. The targeted districts, Al Reem and Al Maryah, are among Abu Dhabi's most dynamic hubs, with a high concentration of financial institutions, residential towers, and retail destinations, making them ideal testbeds for urban AV deployment. 'We're pleased to expand our autonomous vehicle service in Abu Dhabi in partnership with WeRide and with the support of the Abu Dhabi Mobility,' said Mohamad Jardaneh, head of Autonomous Mobility, Middle East at Uber. 'Just as Uber helped millions experience electric vehicles for the first time, 2025 will be the year we bring AV technology into the mainstream.' The companies are also conducting fully driverless testing in Abu Dhabi, with public access expected in the coming months. WeRide operates the largest Robotaxi network in the Middle East and is the first publicly traded autonomous mobility company. Its vehicles have been tested or deployed in over 30 cities across 10 countries and hold AV permits in six global markets, including the UAE, US, China, France, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore.

ADIA Expands Portfolio with Stake in NSDL
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, a prominent sovereign wealth fund, has bolstered its investment in India with the acquisition of a 1.17% stake in the National Securities Depository Limited, the country's oldest central depository. This move comes as part of NSDL's initial public offering, which has garnered significant attention within the Indian financial sector. The deal positions ADIA as one of the key anchor investors in NSDL's IPO, valued at ₹40.12 billion. The IPO officially opened for subscription today, marking a critical phase for both the company and the broader investment landscape. ADIA's involvement is seen as a strong endorsement of NSDL's role within the Indian financial ecosystem and reflects the UAE-based fund's growing confidence in India's capital markets. ADVERTISEMENT ADIA has acquired 174,996 equity shares in NSDL at ₹800 per share, amounting to an investment of ₹140 million. This participation places ADIA among the notable institutional investors backing the public offering, signalling the strategic importance of NSDL in India's burgeoning financial sector. The sovereign wealth fund's move is likely to strengthen its position in the Indian market, where it has been increasing its footprint over the past several years. The IPO has attracted substantial attention from institutional investors, with the Life Insurance Corporation of India securing the largest anchor allotment. LIC holds an 11.99% stake, underscoring its significant role in India's financial services landscape. Following closely is the Smallcap World Fund, which has committed to an 8.33% stake, further highlighting the appeal of NSDL as a viable investment proposition for large-scale financial institutions. NSDL, which plays a pivotal role in the clearing, settlement, and dematerialisation of securities in India, has been integral to the functioning of the Indian stock markets since its inception in 1996. The company provides critical infrastructure that supports the trading of securities and facilitates the electronic transfer of ownership. Its IPO is seen as a major milestone, not only for the company but for the broader development of the Indian financial market. As the oldest depository in the country, NSDL has witnessed the rapid expansion of India's financial markets over the past few decades. The company's role in streamlining the trading of securities has been a key enabler of the country's financial growth, positioning it as a leader in the sector. The funds raised through the IPO will be used to further enhance its technological infrastructure and expand its range of services, including the digitalisation of securities. The growing interest from global institutional investors, such as ADIA, underscores the attractiveness of India's financial market. Despite global economic uncertainty, India's stock exchanges continue to attract significant foreign investments, bolstered by the country's large consumer base, robust economic growth, and ongoing reforms aimed at improving market liquidity and transparency. ADIA, which has been active in the Indian market for several years, has diversified its portfolio across various sectors, including infrastructure, real estate, and technology. The sovereign wealth fund has shown a particular interest in India's financial services sector, making strategic investments in leading financial institutions and companies with strong growth potential. NSDL's IPO marks a significant step in the company's journey, with the funds raised providing a boost to its expansion and digitalisation efforts. For ADIA, this investment represents a continuation of its strategy to capitalise on India's growing financial sector and enhance its portfolio through carefully selected high-potential opportunities.
