Besides focusing on electric scooters, the firm has also introduced its motorcycle line-up scheduled to be launched by the end of this year. In December 2023, Ola Electric filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Security Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an initial public offering (IPO) to raise Rs 5,500 crore ($660 million). As per the company, it will utilize the primary proceeds for the expansion of the capacity of its cell manufacturing plant, repayment or pre-payment of the indebtedness, investment into research and product development, and general corporate purposes. Ola Electric is the second IPO-bound company that raised debt financing in recent times. Last week, fintech firm MobiKwik raised Rs 50 crore ($6 million) in debt from BlackSoil Capital. Entrackr exclusively reported the development. Temasek-backed EvolutionX has backed notable companies like Udaan, Mensa Brands, PharmEasy and LendingKart.
