Built over 500 acres, it will be the world’s largest two-wheeler factory
(UPDATE: The Ola S1 has been launched in India with a starting price of Rs 99,999. Head here to read the launch story)
Having already signed an MoU with the Tamil Nadu government to set up a sprawling new manufacturing facility in the state, Ola Electric has now shared further details about the upcoming ‘FutureFactory’, as it is being called. The big headline is that it will be the world’s largest two-wheeler factory, spread across 500 acres and churning out 100 lakh units/year once complete! Capacity was previously quoted at 20 lakh units per annum, so we have no idea how Ola has managed to quintuple this expectation in just a couple of months.
Of course, this being an EV factory, it will need to do more than just churn out scooters quickly. Ola says it will have 100 acres of forest cover and a negative carbon footprint. This, coupled with the 2 acres of forest inside the factory, will make it the most sustainable two-wheeler factory in the world, if Ola is to be believed.
Another important nugget of news is that battery manufacturing will be done 100% in-house, which is more than can be said of most other EV “manufacturers”. The processes will be backed by 3000 AI-driven robots placed on 10 general assembly lines, giving the factory its gargantuan capacity. Despite the vast number of robots, the factory will also generate employment for over 10,000 people, according to Ola.
All these claims and figures sound extremely interesting, and so does the brand’s upcoming electric scooter. We can’t wait for it to start rolling off the assembly line at the FutureFactory. Watch this space for more updates.

- It's Affordable And Won't Affect The EnvironmentPros and disadvantages pros: If you want this for short, everyday trips, get it since it's affordable and won't affect the environment much. It also has more features than any other scooter. Cons: This bike's noise occasionally comes from certain components, such as its headlight and disc brake, and I didn't particularly like the way it looked. It may also not be as effective in rural areas where there is a lack of electricity and electric stations as well as poor roads, making it less likely to perform as well. My recommendation is that you utilise it for daily activities and sporadic trips.Read More1
