Ola has expanded into advanced two-wheeler electric vehicles manufacturing at its Futurefactory. It has already started deliveries of its e-scooters - Ola S1 and S1 Pro.

The Ola electric price starts at Rs 99,999, and the S1 Pro starts at Rs 1,29,999. In states with active subsidy grants, the Ola S1 will be much more affordable than many petrol scooters. After state subsidy in Delhi, the S1 would cost just Rs 85,099, whereas in Gujarat it would be only Rs 79,999.  

Ola Electric in September this year announced that the Futurefactory will be run entirely by women. Futurefactory will employ over 10,000 women, making it the world’s largest women-only factory and the only all-women automotive manufacturing facility globally.

Ola to create a more inclusive workforce and provide economic opportunities for women across the board, it has mentioned.
