Oben Electric bags ₹100 crore in Series A funding
Oben Electric , homegrown electric motorcycle manufacturer , has announced the completion of its Series A funding round with a total raise of ₹100 crore. In January 2025, it secured ₹50 crore, followed by additional ₹50 crore in May 2025, taking the total Series A funding to ₹100 crore and overall funding to ₹200 crore. The round saw participation from both new and existing investors, including Helios Holdings, the Sharda family office, the Kay family, and others. The company stated that the new funds would be used to scale manufacturing capacity, expand its presence to over 150 showrooms across more than 50 cities by FY26, and support development of a new product platform named 'O100' targeting motorcycles under ₹1 lakh. Madhumita Agrawal, Founder & CEO of Oben Electric, said: 'The extended Series A funding is a strong vote of confidence from our investors and comes at a time when our momentum is accelerating nationwide. We're expanding not just our retail footprint but also our innovation roadmap with platforms like O100 that aim to democratize electric motorcycles for the mass market. Backed by full vertical integration and a resilient supply chain, this funding prepares us for a new phase of scale, impact, and growth opportunities.' Following the initial Series A raise, Oben Electric rapidly scaled with 37 retail outlets across 26 cities in 13 states, entering key markets like Punjab, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha. Oben Electric designs and manufactures both electric motorcycles and their critical components, including Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries, motors, vehicle control units, and home fast chargers. The Bengaluru-headquartered firm's current lineup includes the Oben Rorr and Rorr EZ. It is also planning a $30 million Series B funding round later in 2025 to support international expansion and further product development.

Oben Electric develops new platform to enter 100cc-equivalent electric motorcycle segment
Bengaluru-based Oben Electric Wednesday said it has developed its second in-house electric motorcycle platform, the O100, to foray into the 100cc-equivalent motorcycle segment. The electric motorcycle maker estimates that the 100cc motorcycle segment accounts for 30% of India's two-wheeler market. The launch of the O100 platform is a part of the company's wider strategy to expand presence across India's urban and rural markets. Oben Electric said in a statement that the O100 platform has been developed to enable long-term use in the "cost-sensitive segments" of the Indian market. Its new motorcycle range based on this platform is expected to be launched in the second half of 2025. The O100 platform is expected to support electric motorcycles priced under ₹1 lakh, focusing on the commuter segment. It features a modular architecture designed to allow multiple variants and battery options. Madhumita Agrawal , founder & CEO, Oben Electric, said, 'At Oben Electric, we design and build with intent — to solve real-world mobility challenges. Our new platform, O100 is engineered for India's mass daily commuters and aims to make electric motorcycles a practical reality for every Indian.' The platform will leverage Oben's proprietary Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology and other in-house manufactured components including motor, VCU, and chargers, to drive a new generation of electric motorcycles and accelerate EV adoption across the nation, she added. Oben currently retails the Oben Rorr and Rorr EZ, based on its first platform, ARX. It is expanding across tier-1, tier-2 and tier-3 cities, and aims to cross the 100-showroom mark by the end of the year. The company expects the new platform to drive additional growth for its dealer network and improve returns at the store level, according to its statement.
