As a homegrown clean-tech startup, we take pride in being part of this movement, with 95% of our vehicle components manufactured in India, true to the Make-in-India mission.
With the electric two-wheeler market, which is the major driver for sustainable mobility, growing at ~20% year-on-year in FY’25, Simple Energy is scaling rapidly to align with this momentum, aiming to cross 1 lakh cumulative scooter sales by FY’27. Our mission goes beyond metros —we’re committed to empowering Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities making electric mobility accessible. Hence, the IPO marks a pivotal chapter in this journey, driving our ambition of a cleaner, greener India.”
Road ahead of IPO:
Simple Energy is fast-tracking its growth journey ahead of its planned IPO in Q2–Q3 FY27, with a strong focus on scale, profitability, and market leadership.
