Newtrace raises $6.3 Mn in pre-Series A round led by HDFC Bank, MSIVC Climate tech startup Newtrace has raised $6.3 million (Rs 56.93 crore) in a pre-Series A round led by HDFC Bank and Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Venture Capital. The round also saw participation from Peak XV Partners’ Surge, Aavishkaar Capital, Speciale Invest, Micelio Technology Fund, and angel investors Manish Prataprai Gandhi and Renu Manish Gandhi. Entrackr had exclusively reported the current development last month. Prior to this round, Newtrace has raised over $6.5 million to date, including its $5.65 million round raised in May 2023 led by Peak XV (formerly Sequoia Capital India) and Aavishkaar Capital. The proceeds will be used to scale pilot manufacturing, validate its technology with customers, and expand its engineering and manufacturing capabilities. Newtrace expects to begin initial commercial deliveries of its Voltagen electrodes within the next 12 months. Founded in 2021 by Prasanta Sarkar and Rochan Sinha, Newtrace develops electrode and electrolyzer technologies for green hydrogen production. Its proprietary electrode technology, Voltagen, is designed for alkaline water electrolyzers and aims to improve energy efficiency, extend system lifetime, and reduce hydrogen production costs. Newtrace primarily serves electrolyzer manufacturers, green hydrogen project developers, and industrial gas companies. Its technology is designed as a drop-in replacement for existing electrodes, allowing hydrogen producers to upgrade performance without redesigning their systems. For the fiscal year ended March 2025, Newtrace reported Rs 1.8 crore in operating revenue, while its losses widened 73% to Rs 15.6 crore.
