Electric two-wheeler company Ola Electric Mobility is planning to raise a fresh round of $250-300 million in growth equity to expand two-wheeler operations and fund its planned battery facility, The Economic Times reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

Ola Electric raised $200 million in January last year from investors such as Tekne Private Ventures, Alpine Opportunity Fund, Edelweiss and others at a $5 billion valuation. The company is expecting an up round that may see it valued at $6.5-7 billion, based on the expectation of turning EBITDA positive from FY24.
