Electric two-wheeler maker Ultraviolette Automotive is raising ₹373.04 crore as part of its ongoing Series E funding round, according to company filings accessed by inc42.com. The startup has allotted 8.15 lakh Series E3 compulsorily convertible preference shares (CCPS) worth ₹2,435 each, aggregating to ₹197.5 crore, and 7.24 lakh Series E4 CCPS netting ₹175.5 crore.
