Ola Electric Clocks Record Sales Figures in May, Sells Over 35,000 Units

With a record-breaking sale of more than 35,000 units in the month of May, Ola Electric, the Bengaluru-based EV maker has solidified its standing as the industry leader in the electric two-wheeler market. Ola has more than 30 per cent of the market share thanks to its best monthly sales ever last month and a 300 per cent year-over-year (YoY) increase over the previous month. Consequently, Ola, which has routinely topped sales records for the previous three quarters, now stands as India's largest EV firm and the leading manufacturer of electric scooters as well. “Month after month, our sales have experienced exponential growth and Ola has consistently led the EV revolution in India. This remarkable feat not only reflects the unwavering customer confidence in our brand but also signifies the surging desire for technologically advanced EVs in the country, said Bhavish Aggarwal, Founder, and CEO, of Ola Electric.

With an unyielding dedication to customer satisfaction, we have marginally increased our product prices starting in June, despite a significant reduction in government subsidies, making Ola S1 the best EV proposition in India. Ola Electric remains resolute in its mission to promote electric vehicle adoption in the country and redefine the way people travel,” he added
