What Sets DTC Apart: Investment Case

Operating in a flourishing market

Dubai's population is projected to grow significantly over the next two decades, driven by government initiatives like new visa schemes, and social reforms, as well as efforts to attract talent and foreign investment. This growth is further reinforced by the Emirate’s ambition to position itself among the world’s leading tourist destinations. While the RTA continues to enhance Dubai’s public transport network, the development of new urban centres is expected to drive rising demand for flexible mobility solutions such as taxis.

• TheDubai Economic Agenda D33 aims to double the size of Dubai’s economy over the next decade.
• TheDubai 2040 Urban Master Plan presumes a 134% increase in space for hospitality and tourism by 2040.
• TheUAE Tourism Strategy 2031 includes 25 separate initiatives and policies to support the UAE tourism sector.

Being Dubai's largest taxi operator

With nearly three decades of experience, DTC’s scale and operational reach deliver strong economies of scale and substantial negotiating power with vehicle suppliers, fuel providers, and other key vendors. The Company’s market leadership is further reinforced by a series of exclusive commercial contracts, including:

• Exclusive taxi franchise operating at Dubai Airports
• Exclusive limousine services at airports and for pick‑ups from prominent landmarks in the city
• Exclusive provider of taxi and limousine services at Port Rashid, the Middle East’s leading cruise tourist destination

Benefitting from favourable regulations

Unlike many other markets where e‑hailing apps introduce new competitors, Dubai’s taxi and limousine industry is regulated by the RTA, which oversees franchise agreements and controls the issuance of new licence plates through an auction system. The fixed‑tariff model, reviewed every two months to reflect fuel price changes, helps protect operators from excessive competition and cost volatility.

• High barriers to entry for new competitors
• Transparent, unified tariff system with periodic inflation adjustments

Experienced management team

DTC’s experienced management team brings extensive industry expertise and a proven track record of strong execution, ensuring efficient operations and strategic alignment with Dubai’s mobility goals. Their ability to navigate market dynamics and drive innovation enhances the Company’s stability and growth potential, making it a compelling choice for investors seeking long‑term value.

• Experienced C‑level executives and senior management with diverse backgrounds and solid domain expertise
• Strong governance structures for management promoting valuable oversight and an efficient delegation of authority

Advancing sustainable mobility

DTC's mobility vision prioritises urban sustainability, aligning with Dubai and the UAE’s goals for a sustainable future. Since introducing its hybrid car programme in 2007, the Company has been at the forefront of green mobility, aligning with the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 Strategy. The full conversion of DTC’s fleet to hybrid and electric vehicles will significantly lower fuel consumption and emissions while enhancing long‑term profitability.

Beyond environmental progress, DTC promotes social inclusion through services tailored for all passengers, including People of Determination, and by supporting community‑focused initiatives that foster accessibility and wellbeing.

• Targeting a 100% hybrid and electric fleet well ahead of the RTA’s 2027 deadline
• Aiming for 100% full EV taxi fleet by 2040
