The Ola Electric scooter plant is all but ready for production and the first phase of the project is nearing completion. Ola Group CEO and Chairman, Bhavish Aggarwal, recently tweeted a new video of the upcoming plant in Tamil Nadu, which looks to be ready any day now and begin production of the upcoming electric scooter.
