  • River

    Led · Series C · Aug 2026

    River designs and sells electric two-wheelers, with its core model the River Indie priced between ₹1 lakh and ₹1.5 lakh. The company delivered about 3,000 EVs monthly in the last fiscal year and ranked seventh among manufacturers in April. River has experienced rapid revenue growth—projected FY26 revenue nearing ₹500 crore—but remains loss-making, with reported losses of ₹196 crore in FY25. Its growth plan includes launching at least one new EV model annually beginning fiscal 2027, expanding retail presence from roughly 40 stores to over 350 by March 2028, and building a new manufacturing plant. River has also manufactured the Yamaha EC-06 in Karnataka, indicating potential manufacturing partnerships. The company faces strong competition from established incumbents with deeper service networks and brand recognition, and will require significant capital and operational execution to reach profitability.
