Raptee.HV, the Chennai-based electric motorcycle start-up, has secured funding from the Technology Development Board (TDB), Department of Science & Technology. This milestone makes Raptee.HV the First Electric Vehicle Motorcycle OEM in the country to receive financial support from TDB, underscoring the company’s research-first approach and innovations in mobility technology.
The fresh funding will enable Raptee.HV to further advance its proprietary high-voltage technology and accelerate its efforts to capitalise on the $1 billion performance electric motorcycle category, says a release.
In 2021, Raptee.HV was also the only OEM to be awarded a non-dilutive grant of ₹3.25 crore from ARAI-AMTIF, further validating its deep-tech focus. With the latest backing from TDB, Raptee.HV joins other brands like TATA Indica and Bharat Biotech’s Covid-19 vaccine, which had received TDB’s support, the release said.
The support from the TDB is a strong endorsement of Raptee.HV’s mission to redefine performance electric mobility, from India, for the world. In the absence of an ecosystem for high-voltage motorcycle architecture, we built our own through uncompromising engineering. “Earlier, we also received a grant from the Ministry of Heavy Industries through ARAI-AMTIF, and now from TDB, both clear signals of the Government of India’s focus on supporting indigenous technological innovation,” Dinesh Arjun, CEO & Co-Founder, Raptee.HV, said in a release.
