The retail sales of Ola electric vehicles in India have gone past the 2,00,000-unit mark (as per Vahan data) in the first 10 months of the calendar year 2023. As a result, the country's leading electric two-wheeler manufacturer has registered over 100 per cent growth this year in comparison to the last year when it posted 1,00,000 sales in just 10 months of starting its operations. With this achievement, Ola has gone on to become the first-ever EV company in India to achieve this feat. Of 2,00,000 units, 24,000 electric vehicles were sold in October 2023, with the company leading the EV segment with a market share of almost 35 per cent. Not surprisingly, sales grew by 2.5 times during the festive period of Navratri and Dussehra, as opposed to the corresponding period last year. Ola expects this sales momentum to continue throughout the festive season with an uptick in volumes during the upcoming months.

Ola Electric Sales Performance: What the Company Has to Say?
Anshul Khandelwal, Chief Marketing Officer, Ola, said, "The festive season has been incredible for EVs, and we have seen a strong uptick in sales during Navratri and Dussehra. The ongoing Ola Bharat EV Fest with exciting festive offers and a much broader portfolio of Ola scooters has led to Ola becoming the favourite choice for customers during the festive season.
