EV battery manufacturer Neuron Energy has raised Rs 31 crore ($3.5 million) in a pre-Series B funding round co-led by Equanimity Ventures, Rajiv Dadlani Group, Thackersay Family Office, and Chona Family Office, along with participation from other family offices and HNI investors.

The Mumbai-based company had previously raised Rs 20 crore in a Series A round co-led by the Chona Family and Capri Global Family Office in August last year. With this pre-Series B investment, Neuron Energy has raised a total of Rs 80 crore to date.

The fresh capital will be used to expand its manufacturing capacity to 3 GWh and establish a fully automated, state-of-the-art facility for electric four-wheelers and buses. It will also be used to strengthen R&D capabilities, accelerate domestic growth, and expand the company’s footprint in international markets, Neuron Energy said in a press release.

Founded in 2018 by Pratk Kamdar, Neuron Energy manufactures electric vehicle (EV) batteries and offers a wide range of mobility solutions powered by advanced lithium-ion technologies. The company is also actively developing next-generation sodium-ion solutions. It focuses on quality, innovation, and sustainability, aiming to drive the next wave of growth in India’s clean mobility sector.

Neuron Energy said it has developed smart battery management systems and innovation-led products, and that its new facility reinforces its leadership in the two-wheeler EV battery segment. The company also plans a strategic entry into heavier vehicle categories.

Neuron Energy added that it operates on a low-CapEx and low-OpEx business model, enabling strong operating leverage. The company claims to have been growing profitably year-on-year and is on track to achieve Rs 200 crore in revenue this year. It aspires to surpass Rs 900 crore in sales, with continued profitability, over the next few years.

Other notable startups in this space include Amara Raja Energy & Mobility, Altigreen Propulsion Labs, and Anchor Electricals.
