Oben Electric Is Charging Up India’s EV Market — And Investors Can’t Get Enough
Bengaluru-based Oben Electric just made waves again by raising Rs 50 crore in a fresh funding round, doubling its Series A to a massive Rs 100 crore and pushing total funding to Rs 200 crore.
Why does this matter? Because Oben isn’t just building electric bikes — they’re creating affordable, high-performance machines that could soon be on every Indian street.
The Electric Bike That Could Break the Rs 1 Lakh Barrier
At the heart of Oben’s breakthrough is the upcoming O100 platform — an electric motorcycle priced under Rs 1 lakh. That’s right: a quality electric bike for less than the price of many used petrol scooters.
This means millions of price-conscious Indians could soon get their hands on an electric ride that’s fast, reliable, and wallet-friendly.
From 37 Stores to 150 — Oben’s Rapid Retail Takeover
Oben has already launched 37 retail outlets in 26 cities and is on track to open over 150 showrooms in 50 cities by 2026. This aggressive expansion means electric bikes will be available almost everywhere, from metros to small towns.
What Makes Oben Electric Different From the Crowd?
- Vertical integration of critical EV parts like batteries and motors to keep costs low
- A solid lineup with the Rorr and Rorr EZ offering up to 175 km range
- Proven investor confidence from big names like Helios Holdings and Sharda Family Office
The Road Ahead: A $30 Million Series B to Fuel Global Dreams
Oben’s eyes are set beyond India — their upcoming $30 million Series B round aims to fund international expansion and new product launches, positioning them as a global contender in electric two-wheelers.
