BluSmart raises $24m to develop large-scale EV charging hubs
- BluSmart Unlike other players in India’s crowded EV scene, BluSmart Mobility does not build its own electric vehicles.
- Instead, the company is a ride-hailing firm that leases EV models like the Tata e-Tigor, MG ZS, and Hyundai Kona to be part of its 5,500-strong fleet.
- But an equally important of BluSmart’s business is its charging infrastructure division.
