  • BikeWo Signs MoU to Acquire Majority Stake in Enlite EV Care, Expands EV Services Portfolio

    Enlite EV Care

    BikeWo Green Tech Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to acquire a majority stake in Enlite EV Care, an electric vehicle service and maintenance company.

    The proposed acquisition of Enlite EV Care marks a strategic step towards expanding BikeWo’s integrated electric mobility ecosystem by adding organised vehicle servicing, maintenance and lifecycle support to its growing portfolio.

    As electric vehicle adoption continues to gain momentum across commercial segments such as last-mile delivery, logistics and fleet mobility, dependable after-sales infrastructure has become increasingly critical for ensuring vehicle availability and operational efficiency.

    Through the proposed acquisition of Enlite EV Care, BikeWo intends to establish a network of EV Care Centres dedicated primarily to B2B customers and commercial electric vehicle fleets.

    The proposed EV Care Centres will offer a comprehensive suite of services, including preventive maintenance, diagnostics, repairs, battery and electrical system support, periodic servicing and fleet uptime management.

    Through Enlite EV Care, the initiative is expected to help fleet operators minimise downtime, improve vehicle performance and optimise operating costs with reliable, technology-enabled service support.

    BikeWo and Enlite EV Care also plan to jointly evaluate suitable locations and operating models for the proposed EV Care Centres.

The proposed acquisition of ENlite EV Care represents a strategic step towards strengthening our capabilities across the EV value chain.

    By integrating vehicle maintenance and lifecycle support into our mobility platform, we aim to improve fleet uptime, enhance service quality and deliver greater operational efficiency for commercial fleet operators.

    We believe this capability will further strengthen BikeWo’s vision of building a comprehensive and scalable electric mobility ecosystem.”

    The proposed acquisition of Enlite EV Care aligns with BikeWo’s long-term strategy of building capabilities across electric mobility, fleet operations, logistics infrastructure, technology and renewable energy.

    By integrating vehicle deployment with organised maintenance and lifecycle management, the company aims to create a more resilient and scalable platform capable of supporting the evolving requirements of India’s commercial electric mobility sector.

    The proposed transaction involving Enlite EV Care is subject to satisfactory due diligence, valuation, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, along with receipt of applicable corporate, statutory and regulatory approvals.
