Ola Electric Shares Fall In Trade As Inspections Extend To Pune Stores
Ola Electric's shares slipped in trade after the Maharashtra government expanded its inspection of its stores. Officials from five regional transport offices have conducted inspections at as many as 26 Ola Electric stores of in Mumbai and Pune.
These checks were related to alleged violation of trade certification norms, people aware of the development said late Wednesday. A total of 36 Ola Electric scooters were confiscated.
The action was taken on the basis of a complaint filed by Pritpal Singh & Associates, Gurugram, which alleged Ola Electric “is setting up showrooms, stores and service centres in Maharashtra by obtaining a single trade certificate," according to an inspection report signed by deputy transport commissioner, Ravi Gaekwad.
According to the Central Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and Rule 33 of Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, it is necessary to obtain business authorisation certificate for the sale and distribution of vehicles. Additionally, as per Rule 35 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, every individual exhibitor, showroom, or vehicle display-related representative must obtain a trade certificate. Vehicles distributed by individuals or companies holding a trade certificate are considered eligible for exemption from registration under Section 39 of the Central Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
NDTV Profit has seen a copy of the inspection report written in Marathi. An email sent to Ola Electric seeking a response on the matter remained unanswered at the time of publishing this story.
