Ola Electric's stock drops 4% amid scrutiny over sales data
What's the story
Ola Electric's shares have fallen 4% after reports of regulatory scrutiny over discrepancies in electric scooter registrations. The Ministry of Heavy Industries has reportedly sought clarification from Ola Electric Mobility over the difference between the company's reported sales figures and actual vehicle registrations. According to a CNBC-TV18 report, officials from the Maharashtra Regional Transport Office (RTO) visited several Ola showrooms.

Discrepancies in sales figures raise concerns

This discrepancy raised questions over the accuracy of Ola Electric's sales data and increased regulatory scrutiny. Transport authorities across several states have taken action against Ola Electric over missing valid trade certificates.
