Ola Electric on Thursday announced it is opening its sales and service network to dealer partners across India. This marks a structural shift in the company's go-to-market approach, five years after it launched its first electric scooters, Ola Electric said in a statement. Ola Electric built its early growth through company owned stores, using them to build EV awareness, establish the brand, and create India's largest EV two-wheeler customer base of over 10 lakh riders. As the EV industry has matured and consumer acceptance has grown, the company is now evolving this model, it added. Over the coming months, the company stores will transition to focus on brand and product experience, while dealer partners will become the backbone of local sales, service and scale across the country, the company said.

The company reported operating revenue of about Rs 1,171 crore in FY25, ahead of Rapido's Rs 934 crore. Industry estimates suggest the gap is even wider on a net revenue basis -- after accounting for customer discounts and driver incentives -- with Ola estimated to have generated Rs 250-300 crore in net revenue during the latest quarter, compared with around Rs 40-45 crore for Rapido and Rs 35-40 crore for Uber, according to people familiar with the developments. The performance reflects Ola's shift over the past two years towards a profitability-focused strategy, prioritising monetisation and cost efficiencies over aggressive discount-led growth.

Ola Electric's registrations rose to 15,139 units in May, from 12,323 units in April, a 23 per cent month-on-month increase, according to VAHAN data. The company's performance stood out in a month when the broader electric two-wheeler industry volumes grew by 15 per cent month-on-month, Ola Electric said in a statement. This is a third consecutive month of robust sales recovery, which comes on the back of a front-end retail rejig and better operational execution, as Ola's two-wheeler EV portfolio bounces back amid petrol price increases, marking a broader market shift to electric vehicles, it added. "Ola Electric has delivered its third consecutive month of growth, with May registrations rising 23 per cent month-on-month and significantly outpacing industry growth," said an Ola Electric spokesperson. The strong demand environment, coupled with increasing traction for its Roadster portfolio, has helped us maintain the growth momentum, he said, adding that "We remain focused on ...
