Homegrown electric vehicle manufacturer Ola Electric, on Thursday, unveiled its new #HyperDelivery service. This service enables customers to register and receive their vehicles on the same day they make a purchase. According to the company, with #HyperDelivery, buyers can finalise their orders either through the company’s website or by visiting an Ola Electric Store and then drive away in their fully registered electric scooters just a few hours later.
The company has launched a trial of #HyperDelivery in Bangalore, with plans to roll it out across India in phases throughout the current quarter, ending in June 2025, as revealed in a regulatory filing. To achieve this, Ola Electric has introduced artificial intelligence (AI) to automate much of the vehicle registration process. It has also taken control of the registration process, eliminating third-party agents who traditionally handled these steps.
By doing so, the company has streamlined the journey from purchase to delivery, making it faster and simpler for customers. A spokesperson for Ola Electric said, “We have significantly reduced the processing time for vehicle registration through AI-led automation and by bringing the registration process fully in-house. We are thrilled to introduce #HyperDelivery, which has completely transformed the vehicle purchase and delivery experience in the automotive sector.
This ensures a much smoother purchase experience for our customers, removing cumbersome processes and lengthy delivery timelines.” On the day of the announcement, Ola Electric’s share price on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) closed at ₹54.04 per share, showing little change from its previous value.
The #HyperDelivery service aims to set a new benchmark in the automotive sector by allowing customers to complete their purchase and ride home their Ola electric vehicles within hours, a marked departure from the typical wait of days or weeks. Earlier this week, Ola Electric reported robust sales figures, stating that it registered 23,430 units in March 2025, according to data from the VAHAN portal. However, the shift to in-house vehicle registrations in February caused temporary disruptions.
While the transition progresses, Ola Electric noted that daily registration volumes and backlog clearance are steadily improving. “We have nearly cleared the February backlog and expect to complete the remaining February-March registrations in April 2025,” the company said. Even as Ola Electric expands its services, it faces regulatory scrutiny.
The Ministry of Heavy Industries has directed the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) to investigate discrepancies between Ola Electric’s reported sales and the actual number of vehicles registered, sources told CNBC-TV18. Ola Electric claimed to have sold 25,000 vehicles in February, yet the VAHAN portal recorded only 8,600 registrations for the month. ARAI will review the company’s response and determine whether this discrepancy breaches regulatory or corporate laws.
