印度即时零售配送需求持续上升,带动电动两轮车租赁市场扩张。总部位于班加罗尔的 Yulu 完成 9300 万美元新融资,准备扩大车队,并把业务延伸到更长距离的物流场景。

本轮融资含股权和债务

这笔 C 轮融资包括 6300 万美元股权融资和 3000 万美元债务融资,由 GEF Capital Partners 领投。公司管理层称,其中约 550 万美元用于回购部分种子轮投资者持股。

知情人士称,交易完成后,Yulu 的投后估值约为 1.7 亿美元。公司首席执行官 Amit Gupta 没有直接确认这一数字,但未提出异议。

Gupta 还表示,现有投资方 Bajaj Auto 和 Magna International 没有参与本轮融资,两家公司放弃了优先认购权。公司预计,这将是上市前最后一轮股权融资,后续扩张将更多依赖债务和租赁融资。

收入重心转向配送骑手

Yulu 成立于 2017 年,最初面向城市通勤提供共享两轮车服务。疫情期间,食品和杂货配送需求快速增长,公司随后把重心转向零工骑手租车业务。

公司称,目前约 95% 的收入来自按周向骑手出租电动两轮车,其余收入来自班加罗尔的站点式租赁服务。此前面向消费者直接卖车的计划已经取消。

在经营表现方面,Gupta 表示,Yulu 上一财年已实现 EBITDA 转正,并计划在明年实现息税前盈利。他还称,公司 2023 财年至 2026 财年的收入增长约 7 倍,但未披露具体金额。

两年内车队拟增至20万辆

Yulu 目前拥有约 5 万辆电动车队,每周行驶约 160 万英里,每天支持超过 75 万笔配送。公司计划在未来两年把车队扩大到 20 万辆。

为覆盖更长距离的电商配送、摩托车出租和快件运输场景,Yulu 正推出更高速的新款电动踏板车 Yulu Express。公司称,未来目标车队中约三分之一将由这一车型构成。

目前已有约 500 辆新车在班加罗尔投入运营,并在另外 3 个城市试点。Yulu 现已进入印度 12 个城市,计划未来一年扩展到约 20 个城市,钦奈和浦那是重点目标。
