Ola Electric Sees Service Revenue Tripling to ₹500 Crore
Ola Electric makes electric scooters.
The company wants to make more money from servicing its scooters, not just from selling them.
Right now, it expects about ₹130 crore from services in FY26.
It hopes that service money will grow to between ₹400 and ₹500 crore by FY28.
Ola already has more than one million customers riding its scooters.
The company also plans to use two different kinds of batteries.
One kind, called NMC, is for powerful, performance-style scooters.
Another kind, called LFP, is cheaper and will go into mass-market scooters.
The LFP battery has been certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards.
Using cheaper batteries may make electric scooters more affordable for more people.
Ola Electric targets service revenue growth from around ₹130 crore in FY26 to ₹400-500 crore by FY28, roughly tripling the figure.
The EV maker expects an approximately 65% gross-margin profile on service revenue.
Ola Electric has an installed base of more than 1 million customers.
The company is pursuing a dual battery chemistry strategy: NMC cells (4680 Bharat Cell) for performance models and LFP cells (46100, BIS-certified) for mass-market scooters.
LFP batteries will be progressively integrated into electric scooters with battery packs below 4 kWh to improve affordability.
