Ever since the dawn of this year, the company has been revealing information about the factory, its plans and the scooter itself in a slow yet steady manner thus creating enough buzz around the upcoming zero-emission scooter.

Ola Electric has set up a massive factory to manufacture these scooters and since the first phase of this factory is complete, the company is now
planning to launch the scooter for the public. The factory once complete will be able to make over 2 million scooters every year which will allow Ola to
not only sell it in India but export the scooter to other global markets as well. How the FAME II policy revision will accelerate the adoption of EVs in India India plans fresh incentives to woo electric automakers
