Ola Electric sells e-scooters worth Rs 1,100 crore in just two days
Ola
Electric, the ride-hailing firm's electric vehicle arm, on Friday said that it
sold e-scooters worth over Rs 1,100 crore in just two days, during its sale of
Ola S1 and S1 Pro scooters. The SoftBank-backed company said this was
unprecedented not just in the automotive industry, but also represented one of
the highest sales in a day (by value) for a single product in Indian e-commerce
history.
“Day
2 of the EV era was even better than Day 1. Crossed Rs 1,100 crore in sales in
2 days,” tweeted Bhavesh Aggarwal, co-chairman and group chief executive
officer, Ola, on Friday.
Thursday
was the second and final day for the purchase of the Ola S1 and S1 Pro, the
first in Ola's range of electric scooters. The company had sold scooters worth
over Rs 600 crore in just 24 hours.
“While
day 1 of purchase was quite unprecedented for us and the auto industry, day 2
simply continued from where day 1 left off,” said Aggarwal, in a blog post.
“The excitement and enthusiasm customers showed for our products remained high
throughout.”
While
the purchase window is now closed, Ola’s reservations remain open on
olaelectric.com.
“I
want to let all of you know that we will be reopening the purchase window on
November 1, 2021, just in time for Diwali,” said Aggarwal. “Those who have
already reserved but did not purchase in the window that ended yesterday will
also be able to purchase on November 1.”
Ola
Electric, which had to defer e-scooter sales due to a website glitch last week,
opened the sale of Ola S1 and S1 Pro on Wednesday. The vehicles are being sold
exclusively on the Ola app and the process is completely digital.
