According to Ola's chief, Bhavish Aggarwal, during Sankalp 2024, its annual launch event, two-thirds of India's two-wheeler market comprises motorcycles; therefore, it is paramount for the company to enter that market.
"We have already been successful in accelerating the EV adoption in the scooter segment, and with our futuristic portfolio of products, we are now focused on supercharging the EV penetration through our motorcycles," he said.
Aggarwal further said Ola's indigenously developed 'Bharat 4680' cell and battery pack would get integrated into its vehicles from Q1, FY26. The company also unveiled its new Gen-3 platform for two-wheelers.
"Coupled with the integration of our cells in our vehicles starting early next year, we are determined to chart a new course for mass EV adoption across India," Aggarwal added.
