On May 2, 2023, Ola Electric announced sales of an impressive 30,000 new electric scooters throughout India for the month of April 2023. That number includes both new registrations and bookings for scooters that will be delivered in the near future—but any way you cut it, that’s a lot of vehicles.
Total new electric scooter registrations across all manufacturers in India totaled 66,468 for the month of April, according to Moneycontrol. Month on month, that’s down considerably from the high of over 86,000 new electric scooters recorded in March 2023, which is due in part to both subsidy hiccups related to the national government’s Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme, as well as a shortage of readily available scoots.
