The company had previously stated that it would invest Rs 2,400 crore in this manufacturing plant. This facility will be capable of producing 2 million electric two-wheelers per year and will employ approximately 10,000 people.It is also slated to become the world's largest two-wheeler manufacturing plant. The plant's operations are expected to begin in the coming months, and it will adhere to Industry 4.0 standards.When it comes to the Ola e-scooter, the scooter resembles the EtergoAppscooter, on which it is based. According to the images, the e-scooter will have telescopic front forks. The most appealing feature is its small size, as well as its unusual twin-beam LED headlight with an LED DRL strip around the main cluster.
