Since the vanilla Ola S1 is back, the company has brought it at an introductory price of INR 99,999 (ex-showroom). This introductory price will be valid for limited number of buyers of the Ola S1. The company is accepting the booking of S1 at Rs 499 which will be open till August 31 and deliveries will start from September 7. It comes in five colours – Porcelain White, Neo Mint, Coral Glam, Jet Black, and Liquid Silver.

The company also reveals Ola electric car to have assisted driving capability, keyless feature, all-glass roof, and handle-less. Nonetheless, Ola electric car will also run on MoveOS. The brand has, however, not revealed the design but only shown some glimpse with a teaser video.
Mr Aggarwal said during the announcement, “Indian car makers are conservative, thinking that we only want small cars or maybe mid-sized cars. Global automakers think that the Indian market is not ready for world-class technology and sell their ‘hand-me down’ tech in India. We need to change this.”
