Canadian auto-parts giant Magna International has committed $35 million to Yuma Energy, a Bengaluru-based battery-swapping firm, raising its stake from 51% and diluting Yulu's 49% share in the joint venture.
A Major Stake Increase for India's EV Infrastructure Play
Magna International is doubling down on India's electric mobility sector with a $35 million investment in Yuma Energy, a firm that has completed more than 60 million battery swaps to date. The auto supplier's stake in the company has risen from 51%, while Yulu's 49% share has been diluted as a result of the fresh capital injection.
Yulu and Yuma remain Magna's only startup investments in India, following a combined $77 million commitment made in 2022, with $25 million directed to Yulu and $52 million to the battery-swapping joint venture. The new funding is expected to accelerate Yuma's infrastructure expansion across the country.
Yuma Energy Targets Rapid Growth and Broader Market Reach
Yuma Energy operates more than 400 stations with over 2,500 charging units across 18 Indian cities, including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and the Delhi region. The firm plans to double its fleet of approximately 100,000 batteries within the next 12 to 18 months, using the bulk of Magna's investment to expand its swapping infrastructure.
Although Yulu still accounts for the majority of Yuma's lifetime swaps, non-Yulu customers now represent 15% to 20% of the latest quarter's activity. The company expects this figure to reach 25% within two years, as it integrates its batteries with more than 10 vehicle platforms from partners such as Kinetic Green, Motovolt, BGauss, and Quantum Energy.
Path to Profitability and Plans for International Expansion
Yuma Energy ended its financial year in March 2026 with revenue of about ₹1 billion, approximately $10.5 million, and is targeting EBITDA break-even within the next two quarters. The firm acknowledges that building ahead of demand is essential, noting that the business is capital-intensive and unit economics will play out at scale.
While India will remain Yuma's primary focus for the next 12 to 18 months, the company plans to take its battery-swapping model overseas in the longer term. Potential markets include Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and Thailand, as well as parts of Africa, driven by their large two-wheeler populations.
