Indian electric-vehicle maker Greaves Electric Mobility plans to raise Rs 1,000 crore ($117.5 million) through an initial public offering, according to the draft papers it filed on Monday.

Greaves Electric is known for its 'Ampere' brand of e-scooters and also manufactures three-wheelers under a different brand. 

The company's top shareholder - publicly listed Greaves Cotton - and investment group Abdul Latif Jameel Green Mobility Solutions will sell around 189.4 million shares through the IPO.

Greaves Electric joins larger rival Ather Energy [ATHR.NS] in hopping onto India's primary issue bandwagon, with proceeds more than doubling year-on-year to $17.5 billion by mid-December this year, according to data compiled by LSEG.

Ola Electric Mobility's IPO, the first by a pure-play Indian EV maker, saw investors bid for 4.3 times the shares on offer.
