Ola Electric's Roadster X+ 4.5 kWh Secures PLI Certification
Ola Electric's Roadster X+ 4.5 kWh has received PLI certification, confirming Domestic Value Addition compliance and eligibility for incentives under the PLI-Auto Scheme. The company also reduced the price of its Roadster X+ 9.1 kWh to ₹1,29,999 from ₹1,89,999.
The PLI certification is a significant operational and strategic achievement, potentially leading to cost benefits and market expansion. The price reduction on another model also impacts market competitiveness.
The PLI certification validates the company's localization efforts and strengthens its position in the electric motorcycle segment. The price reduction also makes a product more accessible to customers.
Ola Electric Mobility Limited has announced that its Roadster X+ 4.5 kWh model has received Certification for Compliance with the eligibility assessment requirements under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Automobile and Auto Components (PLI-Auto Scheme) from the Global Automotive Research Centre (GARC).
This certification confirms the minimum Domestic Value Addition (DVA) compliance for the Roadster X+ 4.5 kWh, making it the first motorcycle in the Roadster portfolio to achieve PLI certification. This signifies a crucial step in the company's expansion into the electric motorcycle segment and makes the model eligible for incentives under the PLI-Auto Scheme.
An Ola Electric spokesperson stated that the PLI certification is a strong validation of their commitment to deep localization and building an indigenous EV ecosystem. The company aims to make electric motorcycles accessible to a wider customer base while leading category creation. This milestone is expected to enhance their ability to scale sustainably and deliver high-performance EVs at competitive prices.
The announcement also notes a recent significant price reduction for the 4680 Bharat Cell powered Roadster X+ 9.1 kWh, now priced at ₹1,29,999 (down from ₹1,89,999), attributed to economies of scale at their Gigafactory and vertical integration of their indigenously developed 4680 Bharat Cell. This model will be available in limited units during specific purchase windows.
Ola Electric is India's leading EV manufacturer, focusing on vertical integration of technology and manufacturing for EVs and components, including battery cells. Their operations are supported by the Ola Futurefactory in Tamil Nadu and the Bengaluru-based Battery Innovation Centre (BIC).
