Ola plans to invest $100 Million (Rs 750 crore) over the course of 5 years in Futurefoundry. Moreover, it’ll also focus on vehicle R&D around new energy systems including cell technologies.
Ola Electric recently secured a massive $200 million (Rs 1,500 crore) funding from investors like Tekne Private Ventures, Alpine Opportunity Fund, Edelweiss, and others. This has now led the company’s valuation up to $ 5 billion.
