Ola Electric Opens First Dealer-Led Stores, Eyes 500-Outlet Network

Electric scooter manufacturer Ola Electric has launched its first dealer-operated stores in India, following a recent shift from a company-owned retail model. These stores launched across Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Bihar, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh, catering to local demand for Ola Electric's scooters and motorcycles.

Company officials have set a goal of building a network of over 500 dealerships in the next two quarters. The company-owned stores will transition into product experience centers. The move marks a significant overhaul of Ola Electric's distribution strategy, with dealers handling local sales and service, while the company focuses on showcasing its products and building the brand.

Over 1,200 dealer partners have expressed interest, and the dealer network will help Ola Electric penetrate regional markets and address after-sales service issues. The rollout comes as Ola Electric aims to regain market share in India's competitive electric two-wheeler market, with a 7.6% market share in E2W registrations in August.

The newly launched S1Z range, priced from ₹79,999, offers battery options and claimed ranges, positioning the company for further expansion in the mass market segment.
