Ola Electric Shifts to Dealership Model, Transforms Company-Owned Stores
Ola Electric announced a strategic shift from its direct-to-consumer model to a dealership-based approach across India. The company will transition its company-owned stores into brand and product experience centers, while dealer partners will handle local sales, service, and expansion. This change comes amid increased competition and a decline in Ola Electric's market share. The move aims to leverage dealers' local market knowledge to accelerate sales and electric vehicle adoption nationwide, reflecting the evolving maturity of India's EV industry.
