“The Ola Futurefactory will put India on the global EV map and we are proud to be associated with them”, added Sanjiv Chadha, Managing Director & CEO, Bank of Baroda.

The first phase of Ola Futurefactory is nearing completion shortly, following which production trials of the Ola Scooter will commence. The soon-to-be-launched Ola Scooter will be manufactured at the Ola Futurefactory, which will also serve as the global EV hub for Ola for its range of scooters and other two-wheelers.
