Battery Smart is preparing to file draft papers for its Initial Public Offering (IPO) in September or October, marking the next major milestone for one of India’s fastest-growing EV infrastructure startups.
The company is targeting annual revenue growth of 70 to 80% as it expands its battery swapping network across the country.
Founded in 2019, Battery Smart operates a battery swapping platform primarily for electric two- and three-wheelers. Its model allows EV users to replace depleted batteries with fully charged ones in minutes, reducing vehicle downtime while addressing charging infrastructure challenges.
Expansion strategy remains central to growth plans
The company plans to sustain its growth by increasing the number of battery swapping stations and strengthening partnerships with fleet operators, battery manufacturers and electric vehicle makers. The strategy comes as commercial EV adoption continues to gain pace across India’s urban mobility ecosystem.
Battery Smart has also been actively raising capital to support this expansion. Earlier this year, the startup secured ₹124 crore in debt funding from responsAbility Investments AG, with the proceeds earmarked for scaling its battery swapping network across key markets.
IPO to test investor appetite for EV infrastructure startups
The proposed public listing is expected to place Battery Smart among a growing list of new-age mobility and clean-tech companies approaching the public markets. If the company files its draft IPO papers within the planned September-October window, it could become one of the notable EV infrastructure listings in India.
The IPO plans also reflect growing investor interest in businesses building the ecosystem around electric mobility rather than vehicle manufacturing alone. As battery swapping gains traction for commercial fleets, Battery Smart’s execution and expansion strategy will likely remain under close watch in the run-up to its public market debut.
