BikeWo Green Tech is aiming to expand its operating fleet to approximately 10,000 vehicles during FY2026-27, supported by a preferential warrant issue of more than INR 760 million.

The expansion forms part of a corporate transition from vehicle sales and distribution toward electric vehicle asset ownership, fleet operations, leasing and logistics technology, operating under the initiative name BikeWo Ascend.

As part of this strategy, BikeWo has secured agreements with Reliance Industries’ Bio Energy Division to supply and deploy electric tractors fitted with loader, catcher and grabber equipment, along with vehicle operation and driver services. The contracts hold an estimated total value of INR 66.4 million, with validity extending through July 2033 for use in biomass-handling and bio-energy operations.

Hiten Pal Saklani, CEO, BikeWo Green Tech, said, "For us, BikeWo Ascend is about building a much larger business around electric mobility. We started with vehicles, but we see a significantly bigger opportunity in the infrastructure, operations and technology that enable those vehicles to deliver value. Our engagement in the bio-energy sector is an encouraging example of how specialised electric mobility can find applications beyond conventional transportation."

The business model covers mid-mile, last-mile and long-mile commercial transport, alongside enterprise fleet management and charging infrastructure. To support the operational shift, BikeWo has named Sumanth Badiga, an executive with 30 years of experience in the automotive sector, to its Advisory Board.

"Scale for us is not simply about putting more vehicles on the road. It is about building the operating capability around those vehicles. We want to create a platform that can bring together the right assets, partners, technology and operating capabilities for different mobility requirements. As we expand across India, that is the business we are focused on building," added Saklani.

The company is listed on the National Stock Exchange under the ticker BIKEWO and plans to establish further operating partnerships across energy, logistics and technology sectors to support its fleet operations across India.
