Transition to electric mobility in 2-wheelers by 2025 possible: Ola

TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ After 2025, no petrol two-wheeler should be sold in India and it is possible to make this transition to sustainability in four years, according to Ola Chairman and Group Executive Officer Bhavish Aggarwal.

To make India the global leader in electrification, he said the entire Indian industry should come together towards this ambition instead of saying it will take 10 to 20 years. Ola launched its first electric scooter here on Sunday.

Stating that electrification of vehicles is “an absolute urgency”, Aggarwal lamented that “the industry says it will take 10-20 years. Why so long? Why can’t we do it by 2025?”

Stating that it can be done, he said, “It requires will power, investment, it requires technology; it requires leadership and we believe everyone should take the lead.”

Stressing that everyone should do it together and not Ola alone, he said, “After 2025, no petrol two-wheeler should sell in the country. And it is possible, we can make this transition in four years. We have to reject petrol and make a transition to sustainability.”
