Ola Electric has announced that its Roadster X+ 11 kW 4.5 kWh electric motorcycle has received Certification for Compliance under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Automobile and Auto Components (PLI-Auto Scheme). The certification was awarded by the Global Automotive Research Centre (GARC).
This marks a key milestone for the company, as the Roadster X+ 4.5 kWh becomes the first motorcycle in Ola Electric’s Roadster portfolio to receive PLI certification, supporting its expansion into the electric motorcycle segment.
The certification confirms compliance with minimum Domestic Value Addition (DVA) requirements, making all units of the Roadster X+ 4.5 kWh eligible for incentives under the PLI-Auto Scheme.
A spokesperson from Ola Electric stated that the certification validates the company’s efforts toward deep localisation and the development of an indigenous EV ecosystem, while also enabling broader accessibility of electric motorcycles to a wider customer base.
The development reinforces Ola Electric’s focus on vertically integrated manufacturing, localisation, and advancement of indigenous EV technologies, further strengthening its position within India’s evolving automotive manufacturing landscape.
In a related update, the company recently announced a significant price reduction for its Roadster X+ 9.1 kWh variant, powered by its in-house 4680 Bharat Cell. The price has been reduced from ₹1,89,999 to ₹1,29,999, driven by improved cost efficiencies from scaling up production at its Gigafactory and deeper vertical integration. The revised pricing will be available in limited units during select purchase windows.
