Bengaluru-based electric bike manufacturer Ultraviolette Automotive is set to raise ₹32.6 crore ($3.85 million) in an extended Series E1 funding round led by Winever Industrial Enterprises and Dilip Anand Swadi, with participation from Breathe Capital and others.
This extension follows last December’s ₹130 crore round led by Zoho Corporation. The new investment values Ultraviolette at Rs 2,887 crore (approximately $340 million) post-allotment.
Founded in 2016, Ultraviolette focuses on clean energy mobility and currently offers four electric bike variants: F77 Mach 2, F77 SuperStreet, Tesseract, and Shockwave.
Despite its innovative lineup, the company reported a loss of Rs 61.6 crore for FY24, even as operating revenue rose to ₹15 crore from ₹8.7 crore in FY23.
