Ola Electric Claims ‘Coordinated Effort’ Aims To Trigger Unnecessary Scrutiny In Response To Media Reports

addressed recent media reports concerning their February 2025 sales numbers, explaining that discrepancies stemmed from a temporary delay in vehicle registrations, not any underlying problems with their business or regulatory compliance.

What’s The Matter?

Reports suggest that Electric’s reported sales for February reached 25,000 units, but government vehicle registration records on the Vahan portal showed only 8,600 registrations.

This discrepancy has prompted the Ministry of Heavy Industries to request clarification from the company. Furthermore, inspections have been carried out at various Ola Electric retail locations in Maharashtra, notably in Pune.

Ola Confirms Requests From :

Ola Electric, in a separate filing, confirmed receiving information requests from the Ministry of Heavy Industries on March 11, 2025, and from MORTH on March 18, 2025. The company clarified that it faces no current regulatory or legal actions.”

Ola Responds:

The company clarified in a statement that their sales performance for the month of February remained strong, and they were actively working to resolve the registration backlog, which had caused inaccuracies in the reported data.

Ola Electric emphasized that the backlog was not caused by internal operational difficulties and that progress was being made to clear it. The company also highlighted that daily registration rates had already surpassed half of their average daily sales figures from the preceding three months. Ola also stated that, as of their latest update, 40% of the February backlog had been processed, and they anticipate completing the entire backlog by the end of March 2025, as stated in their official filing.

Official Statement From Ola:

We have noted the false narratives being spread about our February 2025 sales data. Here are the facts: Our sales remain strong, and the temporary backlog in February was due to ongoing negotiations with our vendors responsible for vehicle registrations. This backlog is being rapidly cleared, with daily registrations exceeding 50% of our three-month daily sales average. 40% of the February backlog has already been cleared, and the remaining will be fully resolved by the end of March 2025. This is a straightforward case of a temporary registration backlog, yet certain media outlets and vested interests have deliberately misrepresented it as a regulatory issue through misinformation and smear campaigns. This intensified after we discontinued contracts with two nationwide vendors managing our registration process as part of our strategy to streamline operations and drive profitability. Since then, a coordinated effort has been made to create confusion and trigger unnecessary scrutiny. Our focus remains on resolving the backlog efficiently and continuing to serve our customers with transparency and reliability.
