Ola under govt scanner, Ministry seeks clarification over sales discrepancy

The Ministry of Heavy Industries has sought an explanation from Ola Electric regarding a significant mismatch between the company’s reported sales figures and vehicle registration data. While Ola Electric claimed it sold 25,000 electric scooters in February, official data from the Vahan portal shows only around 8,600 vehicles were registered during the same period.

Amid the discrepancy, the Maharashtra RTO conducted inspections at several Ola showrooms on March 19, sources told CNBC-TV18. The development has raised concerns about transparency in sales reporting within the electric vehicle sector.
