Following over four-fold growth during the financial year ending March 2023, electric scooter manufacturer Ather Energy saw a modest 1.5% decline in scale during the previous fiscal year (FY24). Ather’s revenue from operations decreased to Rs 1,754 crore in FY24 from Rs 1,781 crore in FY23, as per disclosure made by its associate company Hero Moto Corp in NSE filings. The sale of scooters was the primary source of revenue for Ather while after-sale and subscription services were other income channels. The company has not revealed its cost breakup and losses for the fiscal year ending March 2024. The Tarun Mehta-led firm’s revenue jumped by 4.36X while its losses grew 2.5X to Rs 864.5 crore in FY23. Hero Moto Corp is an associate company of Ather and now controls nearly 42% stake with its recent investment of Rs 124 crore ($15 million) which materialized early this week. Ather has raised over $550 million to date and was valued at $750 million during its Series E round. As per Vahan data, Ather was the fourth largest two wheeler EV manufacturer which controlled 9.45% market share in May. Ola Electric maintained the top position followed by TVS and Bajaj. Ather sold 6,024 units in the last month, up from 4,000 units in April. In March, its total sales stood at 17,000 units. Besides selling electric scooters, Ather is also expanding its rapid charging network across the country. As of December last year, it had 1,600 charging stations with a plan to increase it to 2,500 by March 2024.

Moreover, the Mumbai-based company's profits surged 4X during the same period. Logistics solutions startup Leap India secured $63 million in funding from KKR in December last year, driven by a 44% year-on-year revenue growth for the fiscal year ending March 2024. Moreover, the Mumbai-based company's profits surged 4X during the same period. Leap India’s revenue from operations grew to Rs 365 crore in FY24 from Rs 253 crore in FY23, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies show. Leap India provides supply chain solutions, including equipment pooling, packaging, inventory management, transportation, and maintenance. Serving e-commerce, consumer durables, beverages, and automotive industries, it operates 25 warehouses and 22 manufacturing units. Income from services contributed 95.6% of total revenue, which grew 43.6% to Rs 349 crore in FY24. The remaining revenue came from the sale of pallets and forklifts. The company also earned Rs 7 crore, bringing total income to Rs 372 crore in FY24 from Rs 258 crore in FY23.

The legal, freight, travel, and other overheads took the total expenditure up by 31% to Rs 325 crore in FY24 from Rs 248 crore in FY23. The 44% scale and controlled expenditure led KKR-backed firm to spike its profits by 4.1X to Rs 37 crore in FY24, compared to Rs 9 crore in FY23. On a unit level, it spent Rs 0.89 to earn a rupee of opening revenue. Its ROCE and EBITDA margins stood at 8.26% and 56.72% respectively.
