Indian auto tech startups raised $1.3 billion across 97 funding rounds up to October 15, 2026, marking a decline from $2.1 billion secured in 2025, according to industry data reported by CNBC TV18. Bengaluru continued to dominate the sector, capturing nearly 70% of total capital deployed. Ride-hailing firm Rapido's $240 million fundraise represented the largest transaction of the period. While deal counts remain active across electric mobility and fleet management, total capital inflow reflects broader venture capital discipline and tighter late-stage checks across mobility ecosystems nationwide.
