The company said that the factory would be its global manufacturing hub for its electric scooters and two wheelers that will be retailed not only in India but international markets as well.

It will offer an initial annual production capacity of two million units in the first phase.

Ola’s electric two wheeler factory will be able to roll out 20 lakh electric scooters in the initial phase, the company claimed. The electric two wheelers will be sold across India and exported to international markets like Australia, Europe, New Zealand and Latin America.

The facility will be 90% automated, and Ola will control the core technology and engineering. Ola said that the plant would be powered by its own artificial intelligence (AI) engine and technology stack that will be deeply integrated into all factory operations.

The company will also be designing, engineering, manufacturing its own battery pack, vehicle computers, and the software components that would be incorporated into the factory.

The factory will be powered by Ola’s own proprietary AI engines and tech stacks that will be integrated into all its systems. Ola Electric will also be hiring over 10,000 people to work in the factory.
