Ola Electric Delays Roadster X Delivery Schedule For The Second Time
On April 11, Ola Electric had informed the stock exchanges that the first Roadster X had rolled off the assembly line in Tamil Nadu.
Ola Electric Mobility Ltd. has for the second time in two months pushed back the delivery schedule of its Roadster X motorcycle, amid increased scrutiny of its sales figures.
“With reference to our earlier intimation dated 11 April 2025, we wish to inform you that the deliveries of the Roadster X motorcycle will now commence in May 2025,” the EV maker said in a late-night exchange filing on April 30.
The company, led by founder billionaire Bhavish Aggarwal, first unveiled the Ola Roadster X motorcycle on 5 February with deliveries scheduled to start by mid-March. That, however, didn’t happen as the vehicle hadn’t even undergone homologation two weeks before the delivery schedule, NDTV Profit reported on 3 March.
On April 11, Ola Electric informed the stock exchanges that the first Roadster X bikes had rolled off the assembly line at its Futurefactory in Tamil Nadu, with the promise that the deliveries would begin in April itself. Now, that’s pushed to May.
It is noteworthy that the delays haven’t stopped Ola Electric from including Roadster X in its sales figures.
The Bengaluru-based EV maker, in a letter dated March 21, told the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways that it added customer bookings of 1,395 Roadster X motorcycles in its February sales data as “confirmed orders”. They are still not on the road yet.
Since then, Ola Electric’s February sales mismatch, as well as a botched store expansion in December last year, has come under scrutiny of regulators in New Delhi and Mumbai. On Friday, NDTV Profit reported that India’s market regulator is now looking into the company’s machinations, for indications of insider trading and related-party transactions.
