The pledge is intended solely to fund Aggarwal's subscription to the rights issue and does not involve the sale of any shares. The Ola Electric board had approved the rights issue on September 28, pending regulatory and statutory approvals. The specific terms of the issue, including the price, entitlement ratio, record date, timing, and payment terms, have yet to be determined by the board. Aggarwal's pledge enables him to join other eligible shareholders in the planned fundraising round while the company finalizes the issue's terms.",
