Ola Electric secures regulatory approval for commercial e-scooter launch

Ola Electric has secured regulatory approval for a new electric scooter aimed at India's commercial mobility market, according to a government certification document, signalling the company may be preparing to enter the fast-growing commercial EV two-wheeler segment as early as this quarter. The homologation, granted by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) in February 2026 under the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR), covers an L1-category electric scooter powered by a 4-kilowatt motor with a top speed of about 70 kilometres per hour. The vehicle appears to be based on Ola Electric's existing S1 platform but configured for commercial use cases such as food delivery, quick-commerce logistics and urban fleet operations, according to people familiar with the plan. Industry sources said homologation is typically among the final regulatory steps before a product launch, indicating the vehicle could be nearing commercial rollout.

Ola Electric is on track to nearly double quarterly volumes in the June quarter, with registrations in the first quarter of FY27 already surpassing the company's entire Q4 FY26 tally on the VAHAN vehicle registration portal, signalling a sharp recovery in demand after a weak March quarter. According to VAHAN data, Ola Electric has recorded about 22,600 registrations so far in Q1 FY27, exceeding the 22,221 units registered in Q4 FY26 with around 40 days still remaining in the quarter.

Ola Electric has guided for 40,000-45,000 orders and consolidated revenue of Rs 500 crore to Rs 550 crore in Q1 FY27, implying a near doubling from Q4 levels if current registration trends continue through June.

Ola Electric on Thursday announced a price reduction of Rs 60,000 on its flagship electric motorcycle, Roadster X+ 9.1 kWh powered by its 4680 Bharat Cell.
