Ola Electric Delays Deliveries Of Roadster X Motorcycle

Electric vehicle (EV) maker Ola Electric has delayed the deliveries of its electric motorcycle range Roadster X by a month.

In a filing with the exchanges, the company on Wednesday (April 30) said that deliveries of Roadster X will now commence in May. This follows the company informing the bourses on April 11 that the .

“With reference to our earlier intimation dated April 11, 2025, we wish to inform that the deliveries of the Roadster X motorcycle will now commence in May 2025,” read the filing.

There was no clarity on the reason behind the delay.

Ola Electric first unveiled its electric motorcycle portfolio, ‘The Roadster Series’, during its annual event in August last year. Subsequently, last month, the EV manufacturer said that it had rolled out the first Roadster X motorcycle from its Future Factory in Tamil Nadu’s Krishnagiri.

Starting at INR 84,999 for the X 2.5 kWh model, the price of the motorcycle goes all the way up to INR 1.85 Lakh for the X+ 9.1kWh model.

It is the same motorcycle range for which Ola Electric has come under fire in recent months over discrepancies in sales data for the month of February. A previous report suggested that the in its February sales data, potentially inflating its market share.

As per a report, the EV maker informed the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), in a March 21 letter, that it had counted bookings for 10,866 Gen3 escooters and 1,395 Roadster X motorcycles in its February sales. Consequently, the ministry directed the EV maker to revise its February 2025 sales data and include only those vehicles that were invoiced that month.

However, in a public statement later, the company said that the February 2025 sales data included paid and confirmed orders, not “preliminary bookings”.

This comes at a time when the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) has been mired in a slew of controversies. The company is in dock for reportedly operating more than 90% of its outlets without necessary trade certificates and discrepancies in its February 2025 sales figures.

While the company, in February-end, claimed that it sold over 25,000 electric two-wheelers during the month, the government’s VAHAN portal showed only about 8,600 registrations for the same period. The due to the termination of contracts with registration agencies as the reason for the mismatch.

A couple of days ago, it was also reported that the over alleged discrepancies in its sales disclosures for the same month.

Due to these headwinds, the company’s stock has been on a freefall and has declined more than 43% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis.

Shares of Ola Electric closed Wednesday’s (April 30) trading session 2.91% lower at INR 48.72 on the BSE.
