Ola Electric layoffs speaks something important

The future of Electric Vehicle (EV) in India appears no less than promising. By 2030, the Indian government hopes to electrify 30% of its fleet of vehicles. The domestic electric car industry is expected to reach 10 million annual sales by the same year.

India’s deepening focus on EVs can be attributed to the rise in technological innovation and consumers’ affinity for sustainability. Nonetheless, in order to increase EV adoption, charging infrastructure in the country also needs to be expanded.

It is safe to say that the recent Ola Electric layoffs remind companies of the difficult situations they are likely to face in the evolving sector. In order to safely navigate the problematic period, Ola needs to adjust to market conditions and address internal shortcomings.
