Zypp Electric, a leading electric mobility platform, has reported a significant 50% increase in revenue, reaching ₹455 crore in the fiscal year 2024-25 (FY25), up from ₹302 crore in the previous year. This growth underscores the company’s expanding footprint in India’s burgeoning e-mobility and last-mile logistics sectors.
Fleet Expansion and Operational Milestones
In FY25, Zypp Electric’s fleet operations experienced notable growth across key metropolitan areas:
- Delhi NCR: The fleet expanded by 16%, surpassing 12,000 vehicles.
- Bangalore: Achieved a 31% increase, now operating over 5,000 vehicles.
- Mumbai: Launched operations in FY25, quickly reaching an active fleet of 2,400 vehicles.
Additionally, the company scaled its three-wheeler business, surpassing 900 units to cater to last-mile logistics through driver rental services. These expansions contributed to Zypp Electric completing over 100 million deliveries since the inception of its delivery segment.
Path to Profitability
Akash Gupta, Co-Founder & CEO of Zypp Electric, highlighted FY25 as a pivotal year focused on establishing a sustainable and profitable electric vehicle (EV) business. He stated, "While revenue grew from ₹302 crore to ₹455 crore (pre-audited), there seems to be a clear line of sight of EBITDA profitability over the next 1-2 quarters."
The company continues to leverage the momentum in electric vehicle adoption and quick commerce, enabling thousands of delivery partners to transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to EVs through accessible rental plans.
Strategic Investments and Technological Advancements
In May 2024, Zypp Electric secured $15 million in a Series C funding round led by ENEOS, a Japanese energy conglomerate. This investment is earmarked for expanding the fleet from 21,000 to 200,000 EVs and extending services to 15 cities within the next 18 months. (energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com)
The company also introduced a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, providing an end-to-end solution for fleet acquisition, management, and profit and loss tracking. This technological advancement aims to enhance operational efficiency and support the company’s growth trajectory.
Financial Performance and Market Position
Despite the revenue growth, Zypp Electric reported a 2.2 times increase in losses, amounting to ₹91 crore in FY24, up from ₹40 crore in the previous fiscal year. The EBITDA margin stood at a negative 19.47%. (newkerala.com)
The company’s total expenditure rose 2.6 times to ₹394 crore in FY24, compared to ₹152 crore in FY23. Operational revenue reached ₹293 crore, up from ₹109 crore in the previous year, with total revenue surpassing ₹300 crore during the fiscal year.
Industry Context and Future Outlook
Zypp Electric’s growth aligns with India’s broader push towards electric mobility. The Indian government has set ambitious targets to increase the proportion of electric vehicle sales, aiming for 30% of all private cars and 80% of two and three-wheelers by 2030. However, challenges such as higher upfront costs for EVs and limited charging infrastructure persist. (ft.com)

As the company continues to scale its operations and enhance its service offerings, it remains focused on achieving profitability and contributing to India’s e-mobility transformation.
