Battery Smart

Battery Smart is India's largest battery-swapping network for electric two- and three-wheelers, founded in 2019 by Pulkit Khurana and Siddharth Sikka and operated from New Delhi by Upgrid Solutions Private Limited and Upgrid Electrilease Private Limited. It runs an asset-light, partner-led model: local businesses — kirana stores, petrol pumps and neighbourhood shops — host swap points where a driver exchanges a depleted lithium-ion pack for a charged one in roughly two minutes and pays per swap instead of buying the battery with the vehicle, which removes the single largest cost from an electric two- or three-wheeler. The network is concentrated in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Jaipur and Lucknow, and the company has raised across eleven rounds including a USD 65 million Series B led by LeapFrog Investments with MUFG Bank, Panasonic, Ecosystem Integrity Fund, Blume Ventures and British International Investment participating, plus a USD 15 million debt round with Mirova in April 2026. Battery Smart's software ships only as end-user Android applications — Battery Smart Driver and Battery Smart Partner — backed by a production API host at api.upgrid.in that self-identifies as the "Battery Smart API". As of this profile the company publishes no developer portal, API reference, SDK, webhook catalog or machine-readable specification of any kind.

Battery Smart is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Battery Swapping, Electric Vehicles, EV Infrastructure, and Battery as a Service.

Battery Smart’s developer surface includes support, engineering blog, YouTube channel, and 21 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/battery-smart: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
