Cab aggregator Ola is establishing the world’s largest e-scooter manufacturing unit in Tamil Nadu, India. The plant will happen by 2022 in Tamil Nadu’s Krishnagiri.
Ola’s e-scooter plant will be set up in a sprawling 500 acre of land in Krishnagiri. The approximate cost of the proposed plant is Rs 2,400 crore and it will have the capacity to manufacture 1 core or 10 million units per annum, according to media reports.
Ola’s proposed two-wheeler electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing plant will have the capacity to produce 15 per cent of the world’s production.
The plant is scheduled to be done in the middle of 2022; Ola Electric Founder Bhavish Aggarwal said.
The proposed two-wheeler electric vehicle manufacturing plant of Ola will be an integrated establishment. There will be two supplier parks at the plant. Ola will exhort suppliers to set up shops near the plant. The first product from Ola Electric will be rolled off during the summer of 2021. The product is a prototype and has been assembled. The product has been tested widely.
