Homegrown Enigma EV's revenue rises 300% on-year in FY25, sells 4,000 vehicles

Homegrown electric two-wheeler maker Enigma EV on Tuesday reported a steep 300 per cent year-on-year increase in revenue for FY25. The Madhya Pradesh-based startup sold nearly 4,000 vehicles during the period, driven by expanding retail presence and strong demand for last-mile electric mobility in states such as Hyderabad, Bihar, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. Tamil Nadu and Delhi, too, emerged as top markets (by sales). The GT450 scooter remained the company's bestseller for the year. The startup has expanded its dealership network from 35 in FY24 to 80 outlets pan-India in FY25. 'This growth reflects the trust our customers place in us,' said Anmol Bohre, co-founder & MD of Enigma EV. 'Our focus is not just on scaling up, but doing so responsibly—by building dependable vehicles that truly support India's transition to cleaner mobility.' Enigma said in the statement that it is now foraying into the business-to-business (B2B) segment, aiming to deploy 10,000 vehicles over the next two years for gig workers and logistics players. It already supplies to six government clients, including the Indian Army, Air Force, and BARC. The company sees the gig economy as a key driver of its next growth phase and is tailoring its electric scooters to meet high-utilisation demands. Alankrit Bohre, co-founder & COO of Enigma EV, added, 'From collaborating with government institutions to designing reliable products for the delivery ecosystem, our vision is to build an accessible EV brand that works as hard as its rider.'

In June, BREP Asia III India Holding Co., a Blackstone entity, bought a 14.3 per cent stake in Kolte-Patil Developers for Rs 417.03 crore through a preferential allotment of shares. The entity will take another 25.7 per cent stake from the promoters' group for ₹750 crore.

New Delhi: As the LEGEN-Z T10 League prepares to light up India with its high-octane cricket action, Royal Challengers Delhi have unveiled a compelling squad headlined by former New Zealand captain Ross Taylor and ex-India pacer Praveen Kumar. Alongside them are domestic stalwarts like Anureet Singh, Fazil Ali and promising names unearthed from grassroots trials such as Abhishek Yadav, Kohinoor Turki, Ravi Kumar Dixit and Mohammad Yasir.

Royal Challengers Delhi is now backed by a team that understands both business and passion.' Surender Agarwal, COO, LEGEN-Z T10 League, said, 'When we envisioned the league, we wanted each team to reflect ambition, heart, and real connection with grassroots cricket. With Mondus Properties owning Royal Challengers Delhi, we've got just that. Mr. Chachra's journey and passion bring immense value, and we're excited to see the energy and leadership he brings to the league.' The league gets ready to roll with daily triple-headers from August 7 to August 11, culminating in a grand finale on August 13.
