CARS24, a leading e-commerce platform for pre-owned vehicles in India, has raised $400 million, including a $300 million Series G equity round, along with $100 million debt from diversified financial institutions.
This round values the used cars e-commerce player at $3.3 billion.
The round was led by return investor Alpha Wave Global (formerly known as Falcon Edge Capital), along with participation from other existing investors.
CARS24 will use the investment to fuel the brand’s global expansion in the Middle East, Australia and Southeast Asia.
CARS24 recently announced the launch of seven Mega Refurbishment Labs (MRLs) in India — an industry first, and one MRL in the UAE which is among Dubai’s largest ever commercial leasing deals.
In September, CARS24 said it sold over 1,000 cars in the UAE since the launch of its operations in April this year.
CARS24 is the market leader in the online used car segment with over 90 per cent market share, and has clocked more than 13 million monthly traffic and over 4 lakh transactions till date.
“We believe this investment will help CARS24 fortify its moats even further and scale 10x from here over the next few years,” said Navroz D Udwadia, Co-founder and Partner of Alpha Wave | Falcon Edge Capital.
