BYD Boosts Registered Capital to $1.28 Billion, Strengthening Global EV Push

Chinese electric vehicle and battery giant BYD has significantly boosted its financial strength, raising its registered capital from 3.039 billion yuan (USD 426 million) to 9.117 billion yuan (USD 1.28 billion)—a sharp 200% increase, according to media reports. 

In China, registered capital refers to the pledged contribution that shareholders commit to a company, often serving as an indicator of financial credibility. A larger capital base can improve trust with suppliers, attract stronger partnerships, and provide greater leverage with financial institutions.

This marks BYD’s second capital injection in 2025. Back in May, the company increased its registered capital from 2.909 billion yuan (USD 407 million) to 3.039 billion yuan (USD 426 million), signaling a steady push to strengthen its balance sheet in a year of rapid global growth.

Financially, BYD is riding strong momentum. In the first half of 2025, the company posted a net profit of 15.51 billion yuan (USD 2.17 billion) alongside revenues of 371.28 billion yuan (USD 52 billion).

Its commitment to innovation remains high, with 30.9 billion yuan (USD 4.33 billion) allocated to research and development during the same period. Overseas sales have become a crucial growth driver, generating 135.36 billion yuan (USD 19 billion)—or 36.5% of its total revenue.

Sales figures also reflect this upward trajectory. Between January and August 2025, BYD delivered 2.86 million vehicles, representing a 23% year-on-year increase. The company has set an ambitious full-year target of 5.5 million units. To achieve this, BYD will need to maintain monthly sales of roughly 660,000 vehicles through the final four months of the year.

With its expanded capital, growing international footprint, and record-breaking sales momentum, BYD is positioning itself not only as China’s leading EV brand but also as a formidable global player in the electric mobility industry.
