What Bijliride does
Bijliride is an Indian electric two-wheeler (E2W) rental platform founded in 2020 and headquartered in Hyderabad. The company provides flexible daily and weekly rentals of electric scooters to three primary customer groups: gig workers and delivery partners, individual urban commuters, and enterprise fleets. As of early 2026, Bijliride has deployed more than 4,000 EVs across six live cities (Hyderabad, Lucknow, Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune) with Chennai, Jaipur, and Kolkata announced as upcoming markets. Disclosed revenue grew from ₹10 crore in FY24 to ₹18 crore in FY25, with a stated FY26-27 target of ₹44 crore.
The technical stack centers on a SaaS-powered mobile application that integrates ride booking, battery swap station access, charging station lookup, roadside assistance, and fleet account management. Operational infrastructure is built through partnerships rather than owned assets: Indofast Energy (an IndianOil-SUN Mobility JV) provides access to 1,484+ battery swap stations across 23 cities, ThunderPlus contributes 250+ charging hubs, and BGauss supplies 7,000 scooters with removable batteries under a strategic OEM agreement. Fleet management software is licensed to FOFO (Franchise-Owned, Franchise-Operated) franchise partners who deploy vehicles under a ₹14-16 lakh entry fee and 70:30 profit-sharing structure.
Revenue is generated through usage-based EV rentals (starting at approximately ₹220/day in Delhi), transaction fees on battery swaps and on-demand battery delivery (24/7), franchise fees and revenue shares from FOFO partners, and enterprise contracts covering custom EV rentals and 3PL logistics support. Distribution combines app-based self-serve onboarding for B2C and gig riders, FOFO franchise channels for regional scaling, and direct B2B sales into delivery networks including Swiggy, Zomato, Rapido, Shadowfax, and BigBasket. The company is privately held; the only disclosed funding event is a 2023 T-Hub incubator affiliation, with no institutional venture rounds identified in the available sources.
