OnePlus has announced a strategic partnership with Optiemus Electronics Ltd. (OEL) to locally manufacture its premium Internet of Things (IoT) products in India. This move supports the brand’s commitment to strengthening domestic production under its broader “Project Starlight” initiative.
As part of this collaboration, OnePlus has started producing its IoT devices—such as TWS earbuds and wireless neckbands—at OEL’s Noida facility. These are in addition to the company’s existing smartphones already being made in India.
The partnership aims to boost BOM (Bill of Materials) level localisation, lower manufacturing costs, and enhance supply chain efficiency. The initiative kicked off with the local production of the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3, a popular neckband known for low latency, deep bass, and high-quality audio.
Robin Liu, CEO, OnePlus India, shared, “At OnePlus, India has always been at the heart of our journey. Our partnership with OEL to manufacture IoT products locally reflects our strong commitment to Project Starlight. This collaboration is not just about technology—it’s about empowering local communities, creating meaningful innovation, and bringing smarter, more connected experiences to our India community.”
With this step, OnePlus reinforces its long-term vision for the Indian market and expands its local manufacturing footprint to meet the growing demand for smart, connected devices.
