As India’s electric mobility revolution speeds ahead, one name is charging up faster than ever — Bolt.Earth. Dominating the nation’s EV charging landscape with a remarkable 63% market share, this Bengaluru-based powerhouse is gearing up for a defining chapter in its journey. As Bolt.Earth eyes profitability next year; all eyes are on how it plans to balance rapid network expansion with financial sustainability. With IPO ambitions on the horizon and EV adoption surging across smaller cities, the company’s next moves could shape the future of India’s clean mobility ecosystem.
Strong Financial Trajectory and Growth Plans
Bolt. Earth’s financial roadmap signals a strategic focus on long-term sustainability. For the fiscal year ending March 2024, the company reported ₹9.03 crore in revenue against a loss of ₹52.17 crore — a typical scenario for a rapidly scaling startup. However, the company aims to significantly ramp up its financial performance, targeting $5 million (approximately ₹43 crore) in revenue by FY25, and an ambitious $20 million by the following year.
The company has already secured over $29 million in total funding, including a $5 million Series A+ round in January 2025. This funding is being directed toward expanding its charging infrastructure, improving technology, and achieving economies of scale — all critical steps toward reaching profitability by mid-2026.
Network Expansion and Technological Edge
Bolt.Earth currently operates over 100,000 chargers across 1,800 cities and towns, making it the most extensive public charging network in India. As EV adoption grows across smaller cities, the company is aggressively expanding its footprint, with plans to install one million chargers annually by 2028.
On the technology front, Bolt. Earth has developed a robust software platform that enables manufacturers to build and monitor their EV charging networks and vehicle systems efficiently. The company has also introduced universal fast-charging solutions that are compatible with multiple EV models — a move aimed at simplifying charging accessibility for all EV users.
Preparing for the IPO
Bolt.Earth’s CEO, S Raghav Bharadwaj, has indicated that the IPO timeline will depend on the company achieving its profitability targets and the overall market environment. The firm’s growing network, innovative technology, and clear revenue vision make it a strong contender in India’s rapidly evolving EV infrastructure landscape.
As the country’s EV adoption accelerates, Bolt. Earth’s expansion and financial turnaround could position it as one of India’s first profitable large-scale EV infrastructure companies, paving the way for a landmark IPO in the sector.
