The Times of IndiaRaptee.HV targets 1,500 e-motorcycles in FY27, 16,000 unit capacity by FY28Raptee.HV, a Chennai-based electric motorcycle startup, announced plans to manufacture over 1,500 units in FY27 and scale production capacity to 16,000 motorcycles by FY28, aiming for profitability by FY30 and an IPO filing in FY31. The company differentiates itself through high-voltage 240V architecture instead of the industry-standard 48V systems, claiming 25 times lower thermal losses and compatibility with the existing CCS2 public charging network. The startup also revealed export plans to Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bangladesh in the next financial year before entering Turkey, Morocco, and Eastern Europe.The Times of IndiaRaptee.HV targets 1,500 e-motorcycles in FY27, 16,000 unit capacity by FY28Raptee.HV, a Chennai-based electric motorcycle startup, has set production targets of 1,500 units in FY27 with plans to scale manufacturing capacity to 16,000 motorcycles by FY28, leveraging its proprietary 240-volt high-voltage architecture that the company says offers significant efficiency gains over the low-voltage systems dominating the industry. The company aims to achieve profitability by FY30 and intends to file for an IPO in FY31, while also planning to double its workforce to around 400 employees. Raptee.HV is engaging with NITI Aayog on policy frameworks and will begin exporting to Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bangladesh before targeting Turkey, Morocco, and Eastern Europe.BusinessLineRaptee.HV targets five-city expansion, scales production as it gears up for next growth phaseElectric motorcycle startup Raptee.HV launched its first experience centre outside Tamil Nadu in Bengaluru, marking the start of a five-city national retail expansion targeting Kochi, Hyderabad, Pune, and Gurugram by the end of the financial year. The Chennai-based company is scaling production to 1,500 motorcycles per month at its existing five-acre facility, while also securing a 40-acre parcel of land to build a larger manufacturing plant over the next 18-24 months to support future growth. The startup, which began customer deliveries of its T30 electric motorcycle priced at ₹2.39 lakh, reports six months of advance bookings and prioritises brand visibility over immediate sales during this scaling phase.Ani NewsUnion Minister Kumaraswamy holds talks with electric two-wheeler manufacturers in BengaluruUnion Minister HD Kumaraswamy chaired a meeting with leading electric two-wheeler manufacturers in Bengaluru to discuss strengthening indigenous EV manufacturing and building a globally competitive electric mobility ecosystem in India. The manufacturers, including Ather Energy, Matter, River, Euler Motors, and Raptee HV, briefed the minister on their homegrown platforms and sought extension of the PM E-DRIVE Scheme along with revision of the PLI Auto Scheme. Kumaraswamy assured that the Ministry of Heavy Industries would extend full support to strengthen the domestic EV ecosystem and position India as a major global manufacturing hub for electric two-wheelers.New Indian ExpressEV industry meets Heavy Industries minister Kumaraswamy, seeks inclusion in PLI schemeUnion Minister for Heavy Industries H.D. Kumaraswamy met founders of electric vehicle companies in Bengaluru to advocate for including new-age EV startups in the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme. The current PLI scheme requires a minimum global group automotive revenue of Rs 10,000 crore and fixed assets of Rs 3,000 crore, thresholds that exclude many smaller and electric-first companies. Representatives from Ather Energy, River, Euler Motors, Matter, and Raptee attended the meeting.RediffTwo- and Three-wheeler EV Startups Petition PM For PLI Scheme InclusionIndian EV startups Ather Energy, Euler Motors, River Mobility, Ultraviolette, Raptee and Matter have petitioned the Prime Minister's Office through CII, urging revision of the auto PLI scheme's eligibility criteria that exclude them despite being active electric two- and three-wheeler manufacturers. The ₹25,938 crore PLI scheme—with only 9.1% disbursement as of January 2026—favors large incumbents like Bajaj, Hero Motocorp, TVS and Ola Electric that meet the ₹10,000 crore revenue and ₹3,000 crore fixed asset thresholds. The startups are requesting differentiated eligibility criteria based on technological capability, R&D focus and domestic value addition, warning that their exclusion could hinder India's 30% electric two-wheeler penetration goal by 2030 and risk losing export market share to China.Business StandardEV startups seek govt intervention: CII writes to PMO, flags PLI flawsA taskforce of six electric vehicle startups under the CII Unicorn Forum has written to the Prime Minister's Office and Ministry of Heavy Industries seeking a fresh application window and easier eligibility norms for the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for the automobile sector. The startups—Ather Energy, River Mobility, Euler Motors, Raptee.HV, Ultraviolette Automotive, and Matter Motor—claim they face a 13% to 16% cost disadvantage compared to existing PLI beneficiaries, preventing them from passing on benefits to price-sensitive consumers. A parliamentary standing committee report released earlier this year had similarly flagged that high revenue and investment thresholds are limiting participation of emerging domestic manufacturers and EV startups.BwautoworldRaptee.HV Targets Mass-Market E-Motorcycle In 24-30 Months, ₹150 Cr Round In 6-8 Months, Exports By FY28 & IPO By 2031-32Raptee.HV is developing a mass-market 150cc electric motorcycle expected to launch within 24-30 months, with ongoing funding efforts of around Rs 150 crore to support its growth.

The move repositioned Tidco as a "venture catalyst" to support high-growth startups in sunrise sectors including space technology, electric vehicles, semiconductors, and artificial intelligence. Agnikul Cosmos is developing small satellite launch vehicles while Raptee Energy focuses on high-performance electric motorcycles.New Indian ExpressIn a first, Tidco plays venture capitalist, backs two tech startups with Rs 25-cr investment eachThe Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO) has invested Rs 25 crore each in deep-tech startups Agnikul Cosmos and Raptee Energy, marking its first investment under the Startup Investment Policy 2025. The move represents a strategic shift for TIDCO from a traditional industrial partner to a venture catalyst focused on sunrise sectors. Raptee Energy, which uses electric car high-voltage technology in two-wheelers, will use the funding for credibility and scale operations, while Agnikul Cosmos will build infrastructure at a 300-acre Sipcot site for developing small satellite launch vehicles.
