Mumbai-based Magenta Mobility — the EV fleet operator working with Amazon and Flipkart — raised ₹100 crore (~$11.5M) in a pre-Series B round split between equity and debt.

The round

  • Equity (₹50 Cr): bp (BP Tech Ventures) + Morgan Stanley India Infrastructure, ₹25 Cr each
  • Debt (₹50 Cr): separate funding
  • Next: Series B of ₹400–500 crore planned within ~6 months

Fleet & infrastructure

  • 2,700 electric three-wheelers (L5 category)
  • 100 charging depots
  • Founded 2018 by Maxson Lewis; raised $22M Series A1 from bp + Morgan Stanley previously

Magenta is part of a cluster of fleet operators (with Zypp, BluSmart, Euler) riding the e-commerce last-mile electrification wave. bp’s continued backing signals energy majors see EV fleet operations as a natural extension of their business.

Why it matters

Mid/last-mile fleet operators are becoming the reliable revenue layer of the EV ecosystem — and their funding rounds are increasingly equity + debt hybrids, reflecting the asset-heavy nature of the business.
