Ola Electric Mobility has roped in Ernst & Young to strengthen regional compliances across its recently expanded distribution network in the country, according to sources familiar with the development. The company has initiated the move as it phases out its warehouse-based distribution system and transitions to a direct-to-store retail model. As part of this transition, Ola Electric is eliminating the intermediate warehousing layer, allowing vehicles, spare parts, and accessories to be shipped directly from the factory to stores, sources said. This shift is expected to significantly improve inventory turnover, reduce delivery time, and streamline the overall customer experience. EY will support Ola in ensuring regional compliance readiness for its growing retail footprint, the sources stated. While the specifics of EY's mandate remain under wraps, the firm is expected to play a role in standardising processes and accelerating execution across certain regional markets. Ola Electri
The clarification follows reports claiming Ola included bookings for yet-to-be-launched vehicles in its Feb sales data, potentially inflating market share amid efforts to regain investor confidence
Ola Electric Mobility on Tuesday clarified that its February sales represent genuine customer demand and not "token-amount bookings". The February 2025 sales announcement was based on paid and confirmed orders, not preliminary "bookings", the Bengaluru-based company said in a regulatory filing. Nearly 90 per cent of these orders were paid in full at the time of placement, Ola Electric said. This includes customer orders for the new products, Gen 3 and Roadster X, which have been available for full purchase (not just pre-booking) during February 2025, it stated. "We are issuing a proactive statement to our broader stakeholder community since we have fielded multiple inquiries about the company's February sales figures in recent days," Ola Electric said. It is essential to underscore that vehicle deliveries are sequenced to follow confirmed orders with full payment, a standard and universally-accepted industry practice, it said. Any attempt to conflate bookings with full-payment or
Ola Electric on Thursday said it has commenced an initiative for same-day registration and delivery of vehicles.

"We have significantly cut the processing time of registering the vehicles through AI-led automation and by moving the registration process completely in-house. "With this we are ensuring a much smoother purchase experience for our customers, eliminating tedious purchase processes and longer delivery timelines," an Ola Electric spokesperson said.

Ola Electric on Tuesday said it registered 23,430 units in March this year, as per the VAHAN portal, reflecting strong demand across urban and rural markets. The shift to in-house vehicle registrations in February led to temporary disruptions. While the transition continues, daily registration volumes and backlog clearance are steadily improving, the company said in a statement. "We have nearly cleared the February backlog and expect to complete the remaining February-March registrations in April 2025," it said, adding the company is scaling up its registration operations and actively coordinating with all external stakeholders to support the exercise. Ola Electric said it has also started deliveries of its Gen 3 portfolio in March 2025 and has ramped up production in March and will continue ramping it up further in April for faster deliveries and better customer experience.
