Expect the price of the e-scooter to be under Rs. 1 lakh.
Earlier this year, Ola Electric announced that the company was building a mega factory on 500 acres of land. It had signed an MoU of Rs 2,400 crore with the Tamil Nadu government in December to develop the world’s largest manufacturing plant for two-wheelers. The land acquisition for the plant was completed in January this year and the construction work started by the end of February.

The cab aggregator had informed that the first phase of the electric scooter plant will be commissioned soon and more than 10 million man-hours have been planned to make the factory operational in record time. The factory will be able to roll out 20 lakh electric scooters in the initial phase. The mega factory will serve as Ola’s global manufacturing hub for a range of electric two-wheelers, which will be sold across India and exported to international markets such as Europe, UK, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand.
The Ola factory is claimed to be the most automated in India as it will be powered by Ola’s own AI engine and technology stack that will be deeply integrated into all factory operations. About 5,000 robots and automated guided vehicles will be deployed once the factory is fully operational. In addition, the company claims that 10,000 jobs will be created in the factory.
Regarding the Ola electric scooter, the company has confirmed that the scooter will be offered in 10 color options and may follow the direct-to-home sales model.
