Ola&rsquo;s Software Development and Pricing Shift
Ola Electric develops its own software technology, investing heavily in engineering for AI, navigation, and connectivity features, which comes with significant costs. Previously, Move OS updates were provided for free to all scooter owners and were accessible via the Ola Electric app as part of their customer-centric approach. However, since going public in August 2024, Ola has been under pressure to ensure profitability, given the competitive EV market and the need for sustained R&amp;D. To balance this, they are experimenting with charging extra for Move OS subscriptions, moving away from the free model.
The pricing structure, confirmed as accurate, reflects this shift and charges extra when purchasing or after buying the scooter for certain models. For the latest 3rd Gen S1 Pro+ models (4kWh and 5.3kWh), Move OS is included by default for a lifetime at no additional cost, a significant benefit for owners, ensuring continuous software updates without extra fees. For other 3rd Gen models, such as S1 Pro (3kWh and 4kWh), S1 X (2kWh, 3kWh, 4kWh), and S1 X+, Move OS is free for the first three years, with the original cost of ₹8,999 now listed as ₹0, suggesting a promotional period. However, there&rsquo;s no clarity on pricing post-3 years, creating uncertainty for future costs, which users should monitor.
For older 2nd-gen models, users need to purchase plans: the <a href="../product/ola-electric-s1-pro-ev-2nd-generation">S1 Pro 2nd Generation</a> has a 1-year plan at ₹4,236 plus GST and a lifetime plan at ₹8,474 plus GST. Similarly, the S1 X 2nd Generation (4kWh) offers a 1-year plan at ₹1,694 plus GST and a lifetime plan at ₹3,389 plus GST, while the 2kWh variant has a 1-year plan at ₹1,270 plus GST and a lifetime plan at ₹2,542 plus GST. The <a href="../product/ola-electric-s1-x-ev-3kwh">S1 X 2nd Generation (3kWh)</a> also has two plans, but pricing is incomplete in the table, suggesting possible variations.
This pricing strategy indicates Ola&rsquo;s move to monetize software as EVs become smarter, incorporating advanced features that add value. This trend is seen in the automotive industry, where software updates are increasingly subscription-based, reflecting the costs of development and maintenance.
Conclusion and Recommendations
Move OS 5 Beta introduces exciting features that significantly enhance the riding experience, particularly improving throttle response and adding connectivity options like group navigation and live cricket scores. However, given its beta status, with issues like lag and freezes reported during our community's test and echoed by members, normal users should exercise caution and consider waiting for the stable release to ensure reliability, especially for daily commuting needs. As electric vehicles evolve, integrating innovative features will likely come with associated costs, and users should be prepared to pay for these enhancements, reflecting the value added to their riding experience and Ola&rsquo;s need to balance innovation with profitability.

Should You Update to Ola's Move OS 5 Beta? Features, Bugs, and Costs Revealed

Indian roads have come a long way&mdash;from black smoke-belching vehicles to silently swirling electric rides. From overcrowded bikes to stubborn kick scooters, each mode of transport has played its part in shaping the landscape of India&rsquo;s transportation system. And now, we stand at the forefront of the electric vehicle (EV) revolution. A juncture of past and future.
The journey ahead will be carried by sustainable bikes and scooters, driving us toward a new cusp of reality. In this new reality, for many, the journey isn't just about getting from one place to another. It's about the long hours spent away from family, the daily grinding oneself to make ends meet or to facilitate a business in an excessively competitive environment or to keep up with the style statements to avoid the FOMO. The evolution of city commuting reflects these struggles.
With the rise of electric vehicles, we&rsquo;re looking at solutions that don&rsquo;t require frequent refuelling and that can cover long distances while offering comfort, not just to the rider but to the environment. The new evolving social structures, commute needs, and an ever-expanding web of connectivity will ask for new types of vehicles. Pools of new electric scooters and bikes are already available on the market. But the problem starts when it comes to deciding whether you want an electric scooter or an electric bike. Which of the two is more suitable for you? Let&rsquo;s find out.&nbsp;
For Office Going: Comfort or Suspension?
&nbsp;
<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeF0yaUkZw61_q-ohpOOMMx01ypRR5UExNKY3bduu20Zh6qKB76CBY0LU-0UgyaD6zeYcqoy8UA2QIruS85gQH6VJbqRnm3B3ynBvZjNCO84BU9MmWm7lcNGEBBOxYWNYNnklB4?key=h0UKi3idKSoaHJDgVUkLWLJL" width="602" height="339">
Generally, the broader wheelbase designed to give higher suspension is associated with Bikes. No doubt, the same can be said for the electric versions of bikes as well. However, such designs come with compromised bootspace and storage capacity.
If your daily office commute takes you across the entire city, comfort and efficiency should be top priorities. Opting for an electric scooter with large wheels and superior suspension can ensure a smooth ride, while a family electric bike with a spacious, cushioned seat offers extra comfort for longer journeys.
You will be surprised to know that the BGauss D15 and RUV 350 electric scooters have 16-inch tires, whereas standard electric bikes like the Revolt RV 1 feature 17-inch tires and smooth family-seating seats. So, although it's a close call, you must choose between extra comfort and larger wheels.&nbsp;
For College Going: Acceleration and Aesthetics
<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcXHF9RiRWHCS3DzVy7KfiO8DaXr7dFa64rmJcLpuZZ2lUKsBu_00bv336ZJcujQaKpg9intoYOQaKGI4MBFvjMrOQ-bWG0WB5U7E4-cJITi1shIY5-3CKV-csJNr408pWeoB8?key=h0UKi3idKSoaHJDgVUkLWLJL" width="602" height="339">
The tech savviness of young adults requires next-gen vehicles with premium features, specialised riding modes and cool aesthetics. Luckily for you, electric bikes and electric scooters both stand on these parameters. However, the things which can set them apart from each other are design and acceleration. In electric scooters, one of the remarkable acceleration claims is held by Vida V1 Pro, which can go from 0 to 40 in just 3.2 seconds, whereas brands like Ultraviolette with its F99 electric bike provide an acceleration of 0-100kmph in 3 seconds, making electric scooters' claims very miniscule. Moreover, the tough build of electric bikes may assist you in off-roading trips with more control on different terrains.
In terms of aesthetics and practicality, the electric scooter looks much more tech-savvy with large digital screens and focuses on a wide range of features like geofencing, reverse mode, hill hold assist, parking assist, IoT connectivity and many other things. The aesthetics of a scooter are generally made to manoeuvre through traffic, but there are many bulky scooter options available as well, which are more focused on trending styles and city performance.&nbsp;
So, here, your choice should be based on the range of purpose you are expecting from your scooter. If your college commute requirement is complemented with intracity travelling you should check out electric scooters. Whereas, if you are a travelling enthusiast with a hunch for adrenaline and aesthetics, you should definitely try electric bikes.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
For Family: Convenience and Practicality

Family life demands practicality, and when it comes to daily errands, boot space is a key factor. Take, for example, the River Indie scooter, which comes equipped with a generous 32-litre boot space&mdash;perfect for grocery runs, school bags, and everything in between. For families, scooters offer a unique advantage: many non-RTO variants are available, making them an ideal choice for children commuting to tuitions or for anyone without a driving license, all while ensuring a safe and reliable ride.
On the flip side, if your household has several youngsters or if you&rsquo;re catering to a group of bike enthusiasts under one roof, then the muscular build and the nuanced handling of electric bikes might be more appealing. Family-oriented models like the Pure Ecodryft are designed to offer robust performance while delivering an engaging ride for those who crave a bit more complexity and control.
For Businesses: Cost Efficiency and Operational Excellence
<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXee2aRsRtiMXBsXeYvt2dLn67sPRU5buppvfem_BfWPKOootVNWmyCBJsCxItbw8dvpNyVxYr3N9J8qOUPIhF-TLFAH0mED-MyPTGcVfquN07pcdzdrejAUaKSrjNNtmPlN2-wv?key=h0UKi3idKSoaHJDgVUkLWLJL" width="602" height="339">
For businesses, particularly those focused on deliveries and fleet operations, cost-cutting isn&rsquo;t just a goal&mdash;it&rsquo;s a necessity. With fuel prices on the rise and operational costs ever-present, electric scooters are emerging as the ultimate cost-saving solution. Models like the Zypp and Luna Moepad are transforming the delivery landscape by providing robust performance, lower maintenance expenses, and significant fuel savings. They&rsquo;re not merely eco-friendly alternatives; they&rsquo;re strategic assets that turn expensive logistics into lean, efficient operations.
Well, it goes without saying that if you operate a ride-hailing business and want to give proper acceleration and speed to your customers, you will need some cost-efficient bikes as well. With quick acceleration and safety features, the ride-hailing business can operate in premium sections.
Furthermore, the integration of smart technologies such as IoT connectivity in these scooters, is streamlining route planning and real-time tracking, ensuring that every delivery is optimized for both time and cost. This technological edge is revolutionising the way businesses approach last-mile connectivity, making the future of urban deliveries not just sustainable but also economically smart.
With the right choice, be it for work, study, family needs, or business operations, the electric revolution is redefining mobility on every front. Which side will you choose to transform your journey?

Key Points / Summary <ul><li>Research suggests the Ola Electric Gen 3 scooter, including models like Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 and Ola S1X Gen 3, has a new subscription model, Move OS Plus, free for 3 years but likely requiring payment afterward for features like hill hold and proximity unlock, which could increase long-term costs.</li><li>It seems likely that warranty costs have increased, with options like 8 years/125,000 km at around ₹15,929, compared to a previous free 8-year warranty; basic coverage is 3 years or 30,000 km, and community feedback leans toward the ₹6,000 plan for value.</li><li>The evidence leans toward three mandatory services costing about ₹1,752 total, adding to ownership expenses, which may frustrate buyers used to free services.</li><li>Community feedback indicates the true range is 30% less than claimed, e.g., Ola S1 Pro Gen 3’s 242 km drops to ~169 km in eco mode at 45 kmph, and less in other modes, an unexpected detail given company claims.</li><li>Prices vary by model, with Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 at ₹1,29,999 ex-showroom, but on-road costs can reach ₹1.5–1.7 lakh with add-ons; book by March 31, 2025, for a ₹10,000 subsidy, dropping to ₹5,000 after, adding urgency for buyers.</li></ul> Subscription and Features The Ola Electric Gen 3 scooter introduces the Move OS Plus plan, free for 3 years, unlocking features like hill hold and proximity unlock, but research suggests you’ll likely need to pay afterward, potentially locking features like hyper mode, which could increase long-term costs. Showroom visits revealed mixed community feedback, with one user noting, “After 3 years, it’s pay or lose features!” Warranty and Service Costs It seems likely that warranty costs have risen, with options like 8 years/125,000 km at ~₹15,929, compared to a previous free 8-year warranty. Basic coverage is 3 years or 30,000 km, and users advised, “Take the ₹6,000 plan—it’s cheaper than a ₹40,000 battery swap.” The evidence also points to three mandatory services costing ~₹1,752 total, which may frustrate buyers used to free services. Pricing and Range Prices vary, with Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 at ₹1,29,999 ex-showroom, but on-road costs can reach ₹1.5 to 1.7 lakh with add-ons. An unexpected detail is community feedback on range: while Ola claims 242 km for Ola S1 Pro Gen 3, the true range is ~169 km in eco mode at 45 kmph, 30% less, and less in other modes, per real-world experiences. Subsidy Deadline Book by March 31, 2025, for a ₹10,000 subsidy, dropping to ₹5,000 after, adding urgency.

Investigation Note: Ola Electric Gen 3 Scooter Review EVINDIA’s undercover investigation into the Ola Electric Gen 3 scooter lineup—covering models like <a href="https://evindia.online/product/ola-s1-pro-plus-gen3-5kwh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Ola S1 Pro Gen 3</a>, <a href="https://evindia.online/product/ola-s1-x-gen3-2kwh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Ola S1X Gen 3</a>, and their <a href="https://evindia.online/product/ola-s1-x-plus-gen3-4kwh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Plus variants</a>—reveals a complex picture of innovation and cost, based on extensive showroom visits and community feedback. With search trends like “ola s1 pro gen 3 price” and “ola gen 3 specifications” driving interest, we spoke to staff, scoured forums, and gathered insights to answer what buyers really need to know, as of our latest updates on Tuesday, March 25, 2025. Methodology and Context Our approach was hands-on: posing as potential buyers, we visited multiple Ola showrooms across cities like Bangalore, Delhi, and Mumbai, asking about “ola s1 pro gen 3 on road price,” “ola s1x gen 3 range,” and “ola gen 3 delivery date.” We also engaged with online communities on platforms like X and Reddit, where queries like “ola s1 pro gen 3 features” and “ola gen 3 scooter price” are hot topics. Launched in early 2025, the Gen 3 series has stirred debate, and our findings reflect real-world experiences, not just company claims. Move OS Plus: A Subscription Model with Strings Attached The Move OS Plus plan, tied to Move OS 5, is free for 3 years with Gen 3 models. Showroom reps in Bangalore explained, “It unlocks hill hold, reverse mode, tamper detection, proximity unlock, and hyper/sport modes,” relevant to “ola s1 pro gen 3 specifications” searches. For instance, Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 boasts a top speed of 120 kmph, and Ola S1X Gen 3 claims up to 151 km range for 4 kWh. But community feedback on X is wary: “After 3 years, you pay or lose features!” Staff in Delhi confirmed, post-3 years, renewal is required, or you’re stuck with eco/normal modes, potentially affecting range due to lost regeneration, per “ola s1 pro gen 3 charging time” concerns. Range is a major issue, with “ola gen 3 range” and “ola s1 pro gen 3 true range” searches reflecting skepticism. Showrooms claim 242 km for Ola S1 Pro Gen 3: 4 kWh, but users in Mumbai forums report a true range of about 30% less—around 169 km in eco mode at 45 kmph, and less in sport/hyper modes. “I have the S1 Pro Gen 3 with 4 kWh battery. The company says 242 km, but I get about 170 km in eco at 45 kmph. In sport, it’s even less,” one forum user shared, aligning with “ola s1 pro gen 3 real range” queries. Another said, “Thought the range was good, but it’s not matching up to claims. Maybe the subscription affects it?” This gap is unexpected for many, given company projections, per “ola s1 pro gen 3 range test” searches. Subscribers get perks like faster updates (e.g., password unlock, not yet on touchscreens) and 20% quicker hypercharging, answering “ola s1 pro gen 3 charging time.” Gen 1 and Gen 2 owners? “We’re still free for now,” one boasted on X, though staff in Delhi hinted, “That might change in the future,” per “ola s1 gen 3 deliveries” searches. Warranty Costs: A Shift from Free to Fee “Warranties used to be free for 8 years,” a Gen 2 owner in Bangalore recalled, a concern given “ola s1 pro gen 3 battery price” and “ola gen 3 price” searches. Now, Gen 3 buyers face: These below Warranty options &amp; Approx Cost <ul><li>8 years or 125,000 km at ₹13,499 + GST (₹15,929)</li><li>8 years or 100,000 km at ₹10,000</li><li>8 years or 80,000 km at ₹7,300</li><li>5 years or 60,000 km at ₹6000</li></ul> Basic coverage? Just 3 years or 30,000 km. “You’ll hit 30,000 km in a year,” a user noted in a Delhi forum, tying into “ola s1 pro gen 3 mileage.” Showroom pitch in Mumbai: “Ola scooters make you ride more—it’s surprising how fast it adds up.” Community advice for “ola gen 3 price in India”: “Take the ₹6,000 plan—it’s cheaper than a ₹40,000–₹50,000 battery replacement,” per “ola s1 pro gen 3 battery capacity.” Mandatory Services: Added Expenses “Three services are compulsory now,” staff in Bangalore confirmed, each at ₹584 (~₹1,752 total). Covers basics like chain lube or stand repairs. “I broke three stands and got them fixed free,” an old user in Mumbai bragged, but now, “It’s called ‘hyper service,’ and it costs.” Community take on “ola s1x gen 3 specifications”: “If we’re paying, service better be good—some places deliver, others don’t,” per “ola s1x gen 3 features” searches on X Pricing Breakdown: On-Road Reality Queries like “ola s1 pro gen 3 on road price,” “ola s1x gen 3 price,” and “ola s1 pro plus gen 3 price” dominate. Showroom quotes in Delhi:<ul><li>Ola S1 Pro Gen 3: ₹1,29,999 ex-showroom (4 kWh).</li><li>Ola S1X Gen 3: ₹89,999 (3 kWh) or ₹99,999 (4 kWh).</li><li>Plus Variants: Add ₹10,000–₹15,000 (e.g., “ola s1 pro plus gen 3 on road price”).</li></ul> Add warranty, services, and later subscription? “On-road, it’s ₹1.5 lakh to ₹1.7 lakh,” the staff cautioned. Community tale in Bangalore: “Went with ₹1 lakh, they asked for ₹1.8 lakh!” Matches “ola s1x gen 3 4kwh on road price” concerns, per “ola electric gen 3 on road price” searches. Features: Specifications and Locks For “ola s1 pro gen 3 specifications” and “ola gen 3 features,” staff in Mumbai detailed:<ul><li>Battery: 3 kWh/4 kWh options, per “ola s1 pro gen 3 battery capacity.”</li><li>Range: 195 km (S1 Pro 3 kWh, true range ~136 km per community, eco mode at 45 kmph, less in others); 242 km (4 kWh, true range ~169 km); 112 km (S1X 2 kWh, true range ~78 km); 151 km (4 kWh, true range ~105 km), per “ola gen 3 scooter range.”</li><li>Top Speed: 120 kmph (S1 Pro), 90 kmph (S1X), per “ola s1 pro gen 3 top speed.”</li></ul> But hyper/sport modes, ride stats, and mood sounds—key for “ola s1x gen 3 range”—lock post-3 years without renewal. “My neighbor’s scooter has a cool screen, mine’s outdated,” a user lamented in a forum, per “ola s1 pro gen 3 images.” Staff: “Get the plan for lifetime updates,” per “ola gen 3 update.” Subsidy Deadline and Delivery: Act Fast “Right now, you get a ₹10,000 subsidy—drops to ₹5,000 in April,” staff in Delhi revealed, fueling “ola gen 3 delivery date” and “ola s1 pro gen 3 delivery date” buzz. That’s a ₹5,000 hike after March 31, 2025. “Book by then,” users urged, per “ola gen 3 booking” and “ola s1 pro gen 3 booking.” Showroom response: “Deliveries soon—book now,” per “ola gen 3 scooter delivery date.” Ola Care Plus and Battery Costs “Ola Care Plus at ₹3,000 offers roadside help,” staff in Bangalore said, but “ola s1x gen 3 4kwh” fans complained, “They don’t always show up on time.” Smarter move? “₹6,000 warranty beats a ₹40,000 battery swap,” per “ola s1 pro gen 3 battery price,” aligning with “ola gen 3 battery capacity.” Gen 1/Gen 2 Relief: A Temporary Advantage “We don’t need the subscription yet,” Gen 2 owners cheered—no Move OS Plus required, per “ola s1 gen 3 deliveries.” Staff caveat: “The company might roll out an update later,” per “ola gen 3 update.” Verdict: Community vs. Showroom The <a href="https://evindia.online/news/ola-electric-launches-s1-gen3-based-fleet-with-8-new-scooters" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Gen 3 lineup</a>—Ola S1 Pro Gen 3, S1X Gen 3, and Plus models—shines with range, speed, and tech (see “ola s1 pro gen 3 specs”), but subscriptions, warranties, and services hit hard. “They want to squeeze us,” a user sighed, per “ola electric hikes prices of its newly launched s1 pro gen 3 scooters.” Book by March 31, 2025, for “ola s1 pro gen 3 price in India” savings, and grab the ₹6,000 plan. Showroom calls it a deal; community says watch out. “Share this—clear your doubts,” they plead—and we see why.

In a key leadership development within India's rapidly growing electric vehicle (EV) industry, Ajay Dhiman has officially resigned from his role as Senior Vice President and Chief of Operations at Revolt Motors, the electric motorcycle brand owned by RattanIndia Enterprises.
Dhiman, who joined Revolt Motors in April 2023, was responsible for driving the company&rsquo;s manufacturing, supply chain, R&amp;D, and operational strategy during a period of rapid scale-up and market expansion. His departure marks a significant transition as Revolt gears up for deeper market penetration in India and abroad.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m proud of what the team has accomplished during my time at Revolt&mdash;delivering innovation, scaling operations, and contributing to India's green mobility mission,&rdquo; said Dhiman in a farewell note. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m excited to explore newer challenges and opportunities ahead.&rdquo;
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-outline-level: 3;">An Industry Veteran's Exit During Growth Phase</h3>
With over two decades of experience, including leadership roles at Honda Cars India and Honda Japan, Dhiman brought a blend of global perspective and local execution capabilities to Revolt Motors. He was instrumental in streamlining operations and aligning product development with EV market trends.
His exit comes at a crucial time when Revolt is aggressively working toward a 400-dealership expansion plan by FY26, with a sharp focus on Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The company also recently marked its international foray by launching operations in Sri Lanka, with Nepal lined up as the next destination.
What&rsquo;s Next for <a href="https://www.revoltmotors.com/">Revolt</a> Motors?
While Dhiman&rsquo;s next move remains undisclosed, Revolt Motors is expected to continue its momentum under its current leadership, leveraging a growing appetite for electric two-wheelers in India. With increasing government incentives, rising fuel costs, and improved EV infrastructure, brands like Revolt are uniquely positioned to benefit from the EV boom.
As the EV ecosystem matures, strategic leadership changes like this will likely define the trajectory of startups and mid-scale OEMs vying for dominance in India&rsquo;s competitive electric mobility market.

These alliances set the foundation for an even larger expansion plan for FY'26.
CEO Speak: "FY25 has been a landmark year for Zypp Electric," said Akash Gupta, Co-Founder &amp; CEO. "Our focus was to strengthen tech, operations, and partnerships rather than pure topline growth. With our interventions, we now have a clear visibility towards achieving EBITDA breakeven over the next 1-2 quarters. We're riding the EV and quick commerce tailwind, expanding our footprint while keeping an eye firmly on profitability."
Training for the Future: To support the growing EV ecosystem, Zypp launched pilot training programs for EV mechanics and technicians, strengthening the base for a self-sufficient sustainable mobility industry in India.

To increase the EV adoption in the country, the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) is looking forward to cutting the processing time from 40 days to only 5 days for EV subsidy claims, according to TICE news. To streamline the process and cut down on time, MHI intends to eliminate technical bottlenecks and verification stages. According to reports, there is a significant backlog of subsidy claims, with a total of 893,000 estimated claims and 126,000 claims pending in 2024&ndash;2025. There are roughly 109,000 claims for electric two-wheelers.
The update is within the PM Electric Drive Revolution In Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) program of the Central Government, which is being carried out by HMI to promote the nationwide adoption of EVs. Operating from October 1, 2024, until March 31, 2026, the PM E-DRIVE program has a budget of Rs. 10,900 crore, of which Rs. 1,772 crore is allocated for subsidies for electric two-wheelers and Rs. 4,391 crore is allocated for electric buses. Additionally, the plan includes Rs. 2,000 crore set aside to develop and expand the nation's EV charging network. An additional Rs. 780 crore will be utilised to improve the nation's EV testing capabilities, while another Rs. 902 crore has been set aside for electric three-wheeler subsidies.
In FY2024- 25, 20 lakh EVs were sold in India, bringing the total number of EVs sold to above 61 lakh. Over 50% of sales are EV two-wheelers, with electric three-wheelers accounting for 36% of sales. Moreover, electric cars also observed an 11% year-over-year increase in the same period.&nbsp;

There is a significant backlog of subsidy claims, with a total of 893,000 estimated claims and 126,000 claims pending in 2024–2025. There are roughly 109,000 claims for electric two-wheelers. 

MHI may reduce processing time for EV subsidy claims from 40 to 5 days 

Under the new Delhi EV Policy 2.0, the administration is planning to establish at least one electric vehicle charging station every five kilometres. With an intent to provide more convenience to EV owners, the policy aims to set up 3,500 charging points in 2025 and 13,700 by 2030.
&nbsp;
In addition, the Delhi Transport Department will create comprehensive plans for every zone to place a charging and battery-swapping facility in every square kilometre of the city. According to reports, these stations will be installed in underutilised public locations such as parking lots, the land surrounding telecom towers, and regions beneath flyovers.
&nbsp;
The government is providing financial support to encourage private and semi-public areas, such as government buildings, offices, malls, and hospitals, to participate. The first 15,000 slow AC chargers would receive a 50% subsidy of up to Rs 2,500 per charger, while the first 2,000 fast DC chargers will receive a subsidy of Rs 20,000 per unit. The goal of these subsidies is to make setting up chargers simpler and more economical for both individuals and companies.
&nbsp;
Under the policy&rsquo;s predecessor, Delhi Electric Vehicles Policy 2020, the city has already set up more than 400 battery changing facilities and more than 5,000 EV charging stations. According to a report by the Autoprofessionals, Delhi saw a 30% increase in EV sales in 2024 over 2022, with more than 82,000 new EVs registered. With the highest EV sales percentage in India at 12%, the city has contributed to raising the national average to 7.7%.
&nbsp;
According to the policy draft, by 2026, renewable energy sources will provide one-fourth of the electricity used at night and half of the electricity used during the day to charge electric buses. Rooftop solar systems are probably installed at every bus depot to provide electricity on their own. To cut down on waste and boost productivity, bus drivers will be permitted to use one another's charging stations.&nbsp;

The Delhi Transport Department will create comprehensive plans for every zone to place a charging and battery-swapping facility in every square kilometre of the city. 

Delhi EV Policy 2.0 aims to set up 13,700 charging stations by 2030

The metal arm of the Aditya Birla Group, Hindalco Industries, has delivered 10,000 aluminium battery enclosures to Mahindra for its next generation of electric SUVs, the BE 6 and XEV 9e. The announcement was made in conjunction with the opening of Hindalco's new EV component production facility in Pune's Chakan, a major automotive centre.
&nbsp;
With an expenditure of ₹500 crore, the plant marks Hindalco's foray into the production of EV parts. The five-acre facility, which produces aluminium battery enclosures that are lightweight and crash-resistant, can produce 80,000 units a year, with plans to expand that number to 160,000. There are currently more than 3,000 Mahindra EVs on Indian roads that have these battery cages installed.
&nbsp;
Citing Satish Pai, Managing Director of Hindalco Industries, the Machine Maker reported, &ldquo;This Chakan plant marks a shift towards localised, high-performance aluminium solutions for the EV sector. Our partnership with Mahindra reflects our shared vision for cleaner mobility and reinforces India&rsquo;s transition to electric vehicles.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
The co-developed battery enclosures are up to 40% lighter than traditional steel-based alternatives since they are constructed of low-carbon aluminium. Better crash resistance, enhanced thermal management for battery systems, and an 8&ndash;10% increase in driving range are all results of this reduction.
&nbsp;
In addition to its technological innovation, the new Chakan plant promotes the "Make in India" movement, which aims to create up to 1,000 jobs and lessen dependency on imports. The facility's almost entirely female machine operator crew is a noteworthy feature, which is a rare yet forward-thinking development in the manufacturing industry.
&nbsp;
In the future, Hindalco intends to provide other domestic and international automakers with comparable aluminium-based components. In addition to battery enclosures, the company's future product line will comprise structural and safety-critical components for both conventional and electric vehicles.
&nbsp;
The expansion of giga-factories and domestic cell production in India is expected to increase demand for battery-grade aluminium as the country's electric vehicle ecosystem grows. A forward-thinking strategy to address the changing demands of the mobility industry is demonstrated by Hindalco's investment in this area.

Ola Electric, the recipient of the Center's premier production-linked incentive (PLI) program worth Rs 18,100 crore for advanced chemical cells (ACC), launched the 4680 indigenous cells known as the "Bharat" battery cell on Thursday. Bhavish Aggarwal, the founder and CEO of Ola Electric, who claims over 70 patents connected to the battery manufacturing technology stated, "We didn't import the tech, we built it ourselves". During the Ola Electric Sankalp 2024 event, Aggarwal announced the company's strategy to transform the Indian energy landscape. The strategy, scheduled to proceed in a phased manner, aims to produce 5 GWH cells in 2024, scale up to 20 GWh by 2026, and reach 100 GWh by 2030. Additionally, he declared that by April 2025, Ola Electric will begin incorporating the 4680 cells into its products. Under the PLI scheme, out of the 50Gwh, the Ola Electric was given 20 Gigawatt hours. Meanwhile, other beneficiaries of the scheme include Reliance New Energy Battery Storage and ACC Energy Storage. The company has also informed the Ministry of Heavy Industries that it has already completed the pilot manufacturing of around 10,000 cells, citing sources told Business Standard.&nbsp; Moreover, the purpose of the ACC PLI scheme was to make the country's EV industry self-reliant in battery technologies. Industry estimates peg about 30-50% of the total cost of an electric two-wheeler contributed by its battery alone, depending on its capacity and chemistry. Therefore, the update is likely to make electric vehicles more affordable. Compared to the 2170 cells in use by Ola in its scooters today, this "Bharat" cell is reported to have five times better energy density to improve the vehicle’s performance. Further, the company also claimed faster charging times with its latest technology which would improve consumer convenience. The gigafactory of the company is being built in phases in Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu, with Phase 1 aiming for a 5GwH capacity.

The company’s strategy, scheduled to proceed in a phased manner, aims to produce 5 GWH cells in 2024, scale up to 20 GWh by 2026, and reach 100 GWh by 2030.

The government's think tank, NITI Aayog, has offered incentives to encourage the processing and refinement of minerals used in lithium-ion batteries, including production-linked incentive (PLI) programmes, tax breaks, and royalties. "Policy should put a strong emphasis on expanding LIB recycling facilities with production-linked incentives to support vital mineral mining and extraction initiatives. This will help to promote reuse, disposal, and ecologically friendly waste management practices, according to a study by NITI Aayog. The policy planning commission also recommended supporting lab-to-market commercialization of products in its report, "Mine to market: critical minerals supply chain for domestic value addition in lithium-ion battery manufacturing." It also recommended encouraging R&amp;D for earth-abundant alternatives to critical minerals used in ACC (Advanced Carbon Composite) batteries. It has also advised creating hubs for the industrialization of technologies and demonstration projects, as well as startup incubators. By 2030, the paper estimates that India's advanced chemistry cell manufacturing sector would require about 193,000 tonnes per year of cathode active material to create 100 GWh of batteries. According to cathode chemistry and supply chain expenses for mining and refining crucial minerals, "Critical minerals and their active elements used in the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries (LIB) make up approximately 33%-48% of the total LIB pack cost," it was said further. According to NITI Aayog, the production of lithium-ion battery (LIB) packs may add almost 12% more domestic value just from the production of Li-NMC and LFP active materials from essential mineral precursors.&nbsp; This occurs at a time when India is placing a significant wager on <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">EVs</a>. The revised Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) of the nation, which the Union Cabinet adopted in August of last year, outlined India's commitment to lowering its Gross Domestic Product (GDP)'s emissions intensity by 45% from its 2005 level by 2030. Li-ion batteries are accelerating the switch to EVs worldwide, especially in India. The market for Li-ion batteries in India is expected to increase from 4 GWh in 2022 to 120 GWh in 2030. Due to the uneven concentration of lithium sources around the world, India is still reliant on importing Li-ion batteries. It was wonderful news for India when the Geological Survey of India previously identified significant lithium resources in the Reasi area of Jammu. Nevertheless, bringing the mine up to commercial production levels might take 7-8 years. In her budget plans, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman stated that imports of machinery and capital items used to make li-ion cells for EV batteries would not be subject to customs duties. Only a few firms, such as Log 9 Materials and ION Energy, have been developing lithium-ion substitute technology as of late.

NITI Aayog also recommended supporting lab-to-market commercialization of products in its report, "Mine to market: critical minerals supply chain for domestic value addition in lithium-ion battery manufacturing."

The Delhi administration has been encouraged to slacken the deadlines for the transition to <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">electric vehicles</a> (EVs), according to a story in The Economic Times. IAMAI's (Internet and Mobile Association of India) argument is that an aggressive EV transition might harm the lives of gig workers in Delhi who had invested in conventionally powered <a href="https://evindia.online/scooter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">two-wheelers</a>. As cited by ET, IndiaTech, a lobbying organisation for the technology sector, and Nasscom, which represents firms like Ola, Zomato, and Zepto, have also indicated the dates for the switch to electric vehicles. “The availability of automobiles and accompanying infrastructure should be taken into consideration when setting adoption goals for EVs,” Nasscom stated in its proposal. The objectives for electrification seem unattainable given the minimal availability of EVs in Delhi today, particularly in the 2- and 4-wheeler segments. Furthermore, even if EVs were accessible, it would be challenging for drivers to transition to EVs due to a lack of supporting infrastructure. Therefore, an aggressive electrification policy in a weak supply-side ecosystem will force aggregators and delivery service providers (DSPs) to significantly slow down their business growth in the National Capital Territory of Delhi, which will ultimately affect people's mobility in the NCT of Delhi, it continued. IndiaTech said in its submission that the programme places the obligation of transition on the platforms, which have no control over the cars, and urged the Delhi government to ease off on the objectives and eliminate fines on the mandatory EV transition. "The vehicles belong to the gig worker, and any intention to switch to EV is at the sole discretion of the gig workers," it said. In order to comply with this legislation, industry participants will have to "reserve" all gig work for just those who have electric vehicles for two years and for four years, respectively. Such regulation will result in entrance obstacles for people who cannot afford an EV.

Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, said on June 27 that Delhi has emerged as the nation's <a href="http://www.evindia.online" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">electric vehicle</a> (EV) capital due to the city seeing the greatest EV sales. Mr. Kejriwal said that pollution levels in the city had decreased since 2014 while speaking during the opening of 42 charging stations. He said, "We began pushing EVs to reduce pollution and with the understanding that they are the way of the future. In 2020, we created an EV policy and established a goal of having one-fourth of Delhi's new EV sales be electric by 2025.” In order to make Delhi the nation's EV capital and fasten the adoption of EVs across all vehicle sectors, particularly in the mass category of <a href="https://evindia.online/scooter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">two-wheelers</a>, public and shared vehicles, and cargo carriers, the Delhi EV Policy was introduced in August 2020. He said, “I'm pleased to report that 13% of all automobiles purchased in Delhi are electric vehicles. 1.28 lakh electric vehicles have been purchased in Delhi since August 2020.” According to the Delhi Chief Minister, the Niti Aayog has praised Delhi's EV policy. Additionally, Mr. Kejriwal said that Delhi's charging stations had the most competitive power prices. He said, "Delhi residents support us. The movement has developed into a populist one. We offer the most charging stations around the country. One-third of the country's charging stations are located in Delhi. In December 2022, Delhi registered 7,046 new EV users pushing the year-on-year growth to 86 percent. Playing a significant role in the update, the state EV policy increased to 93,239 e-vehicle. In this, two-wheeler acquires almost 55 percent of the total sales. <a href="https://evindia.online/news/delhi-makes-history--ev-monthly-sales-reached-7000---" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">(read report)</a>
