Ola S1 Z and Gig Models Delivery Delay:  Ola S1 Z and Gig variants are the most affordable models offered by the brand in India. The company recently stated that it is delaying the deliveries of both of these models. The brand offers S1 Z and S1 Z+ variants under the S1 Z nameplate, whereas it offers Gig and Gig+ variants under the Gig name.

Ola S1 Z And Gig Delivery Delay: Reason

While addressing the Investors, Ola CEO and Founder Bhavish Aggrawal announced, “We are delaying the S1 Z, Gig/Gig+, and some other future products and will sequentially launch these products such that each product receives the right customer mindshare.” Citing the reason, Bhavish told investors, “Our focus right now is the Roadster platform, which is Roadster X, X Plus, and then the Roadster itself, Roadster and Arrowhead. The Gig, Gig Plus, Z, as well as the three-wheeler platforms, will be a little later.”

Increasing Challenges Vs Ola

The challenges for Ola in the Indian two-wheeler EV market are constantly rising, with brands like Bajaj and TVS strengthening their positions. The brand is also facing some operational, registration, and servicing-related issues. The brand recently announced that it now has more than 4000 stores in total, and the service turnaround time has also been reduced. The company’s sales fell in FY25, and recently it lost its number position in the Indian EV two-wheeler market.
