Ola Electric might be in the news for all the wrong reasons more often than not, credit has to be given to the Bengaluru-based EV manufacturer for taking some significant leap in the electric two-wheeler space. The company is currently the highest-selling electric two-wheeler in the country with a market share between 30 to 35 percent.
A major reason for this is its unique B2C business module which has enabled the company to make direct transactions with customers which has helped the company reach even rural demographics of the country. The EV manufacturing startup is gearing up to take another giant step to ramp up its presence across the country.
Ola Electric is on its way to increase from the current 800 stores to 4000 stores this month. More importantly, all new stores will be inaugurated on the same day on 20 December 2024. This means as many as 3,200 new Ola Electric stores will come into operation on the same day, the biggest ever retail expansion in India’s automotive market on a single day.
