Summary
Eka Mobility has raised over Rs.1,400 crore in debt this year, its largest funding drive, to deliver on two major government e-bus orders. The company won contracts for 3,485 buses in a 10,900-bus tender and 3,981 buses in subsequent tenders for 6,230 buses, outbidding Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland. The debt includes a Rs.1,306 crore bank facility, Rs.100 crore in debentures, and board approval for another Rs.400 crore. This follows a $57 million equity round last October. The shift from equity to structured debt reflects the company's transition to contracted cash flows from government orders. The funding supports delivery of 7,466 buses, a significant scale-up for a company with 6,000 annual capacity.
