From Delhi to Dubai: BluSmart Accelerates Expansion with $50 Million in Funding

Electric ride-hailing startup BluSmart is on track to secure $50 million in a fresh funding round, raising its pre-money valuation to $335 million. Based in Gurugram, the company has already locked in half of the targeted amount, with the rest expected to be finalized in the coming weeks.

The funding round includes a mix of existing backers, company promoters, high-net-worth individuals, and a few venture capital firms. BluSmart plans to wrap up the round by next month, marking its second major raise in six months after a $24 million pre-Series B round earlier in 2024.

These hubs support more than 10,000 active driver partners, enabling the company to log over 21 million rides and hundreds of millions of emission-free kilometers to date.

BluSmart’s rapid growth and commitment to sustainable mobility are reshaping urban transportation, and with this new funding round, the company looks poised to accelerate its expansion and innovation in the electric ride-hailing sector.
