Details of the Rights Issue
The ₹530 crore capital infusion was executed through a rights issue by Greaves Electric Mobility Limited (GEML), the e-mobility business of Greaves Cotton Limited. The issue received full subscription from existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings, led by Greaves Cotton Limited and Abdul Latif Jameel Green Mobility Solutions. This investment reinforces the long-term commitment of GEML's anchor shareholders.
While GEML has decided not to avail itself of the SEBI extension for the proposed offer at this time, the company remains committed to pursuing a public listing in the future, subject to favorable market conditions and regulatory approvals.
Strategic Deployment of Capital

The focus remains on democratizing sustainable mobility through a robust retail and service network, which currently includes 400 dealer touchpoints and three manufacturing facilities in Hyderabad, Noida, and Ranipet.
