Existing investors Stellaris Venture Partners and Avaana Capital participated in the funding round, which also brought on board new investors Alteria Capital and InnoVen Capital.The company, which claims to have a 20% market share in its segment, plans to utilise the funds to expand operations and build a proprietary battery tech platform to address issues around end-of-life battery value amid global concerns around EV batteries and e-waste.“Today, 80-85% of India’s automotive fuel consumption is driven by commercial vehicles with internal combustion engines,” said Turno chief executive officer Hemanth Aluru. “Yet, there is a strong desire to transition to a green economy and so, commercial EV adoption holds a significant promise. Turno was founded with the mission to convert these ‘gasoline miles’ into ‘electric miles’, having a significant positive impact on the environment.”Turno aims to use its proprietary technology to repurpose EV batteries into large-scale second-life energy storage systems
