Electric car off the table: Ola Electric CMD Bhavish Aggarwal

Ola founder and CMD Bhavish Aggarwal said that the electric car project is off the table for now.

In a conversation with news agency PTI, he said, "We are not working on it right now. Our vision is to build products relevant to India and technologies to enable those products at scale, and we're going in a sequence: two-wheelers and then other products."

"India needs to build a sustainable paradigm of energy and automotive. The global solution for sustainability is (electric) luxury cars... That's not relevant for India. India is (electric) two-wheelers, three-wheelers, maybe small cars," he added.

Aggarwal announced in 2022 that Ola Electric would enter the electric car segment. The company will launch its first model by 2024 and maintain an ambitious target of selling 10 lakh electric cars by 2026-2027.
