Electric two-wheeler maker Ola Electric on Thursday announced that it will reimburse charger monies to all eligible customers.
In a statement, the company said that the move "will not only demonstrate our commitment to the EV revolution but also serves to strengthen trust and add more value to our customers."
This comes after Ola Electric was allegedly found to be in violation of FAME II EV subsidy guidelines by the Ministry of Heavy Industries.
"As a leader of the industry, we remain committed to putting our customers first. Therefore, setting aside the technicalities and as an example for others to follow, we have decided to reimburse the charger monies to all eligible customers," Ola Electric said in a statement.
