# Ultraviolette seeks $45-50 mn more from existing investors 2026-08-22T08:59:31+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Electric two-wheeler maker Ultraviolette is in talks to raise an additional $45-50 million from its existing investors, including Speciale Invest and TDK Ventures. The company, which sells the F77 model, has a retail presence in 35 Indian cities and has expanded overseas to a dozen countries after launching in the UK last year. The funding round comes as the Bengaluru-based firm looks to scale production and expand its global footprint. Neither Ultraviolette nor its investors responded to queries from ET on the matter. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Ultraviolette's focus on premium performance electric motorcycles sets it apart from mass-market EV makers in India. The company competes with players like Ola Electric and Ather Energy, but targets a niche segment with higher price points. Its international expansion, starting with the UK, signals ambitions to compete globally. The fresh funds are likely to go toward R&D and entering more markets. Investors will watch whether Ultraviolette can achieve profitability while maintaining its premium positioning. ## Coverage - auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com Straight reporting of funding talks and expansion facts, with no editorial slant or opinion.
