This certification was granted by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) under the aegis of the Ministry of Heavy Industries, Government of India, to all seven Ola S1 Gen 3 scooters, the company said in a statement.
With this milestone, Ola Electric's Gen 2 and Gen 3 scooter portfolio now stands PLI-certified. The Gen 3 portfolio, comprising S1 Pro 3 kWh, S1 Pro 4 kWh, S1 Pro+ 4 kWh, S1 X 2 kWh, S1 X 3 kWh, S1 X 4 kWh and S1 X+ 4 kWh, represents the majority of the company's current sales. As a result, this certification is set to significantly enhance Ola Electric's profitability from Q2 FY26 onwards.
An Ola Electric Mobility spokesperson said, “Securing PLI certification for our Gen 3 scooters, which form the bulk of our sales, is a critical step towards profitability. This will directly strengthen our cost structure and margins, enabling us to deliver sustainable growth. With our auto business targeted to turn EBITDA positive, the certification acts as a strong catalyst to achieve that goal while ensuring our customers continue to get the best-in-class EVs at highly competitive prices.”
The PLI certification makes Ola Electric eligible for incentives ranging from 13-18 percent of the determined sales value (DSV) until 2028.
During its annual 'Sankalp' event, the company also announced S1 Pro Sport with 5.2 kWh and 4 kWh, S1 Pro+ 5.2 kWh, and Roadster X+ 9.1 kWh powered by the 4680 Bharat Cell, starting at an introductory price of INR 1,49,999, INR 1,69,999 and INR 1,89,999, respectively.
