# Ultraviolette Raises $85M to Take Indian Electric Motorcycles Global

> Ultraviolette raised $85 million led by Yali Capital and TDK Ventures to scale electric-motorcycle production and prepare for a 2027 US launch.

**Ultraviolette raised $85 million in growth financing** on September 23, 2026. **Yali Capital** and **TDK Ventures** led the round, with participation from Intel CEO and Walden International chairman Lip-Bu Tan and existing investors.

The company did not disclose a formal series label or valuation.

## Deal terms

| Field | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Company | [Ultraviolette](/startup/ultraviolette) |
| Financing | **$85M growth round** |
| Co-leads | Yali Capital; TDK Ventures |
| Other participant | Lip-Bu Tan; existing investors |
| Stage | Not formally disclosed |
| Valuation | Not disclosed |

## Why this financing matters

Ultraviolette is using the capital to expand production of its F77 and X-47 electric motorcycles, develop the Tesseract and Shockwave products, and build international distribution. It is targeting a United States launch in 2027 while expanding across Latin America and Southeast Asia.

That makes the round a test of whether a premium electric two-wheeler brand engineered in India can scale across markets with different certification, dealer and service requirements.

## What remains to be proven

The company says it exports to 20 European countries and has developed battery, powertrain, software and radar capabilities in-house. Those statements describe reach and technical scope, not unit economics. Revenue, deliveries, production capacity, burn and the latest valuation remain undisclosed.

## Bottom line

The confirmed news is **$85 million led by Yali Capital and TDK Ventures**. Until Ultraviolette identifies the stage, it should be called a growth financing rather than automatically labeled Series E.
