Bengaluru-based electric two-wheeler company Ola Electric has announced a recovery in business performance, with daily orders exceeding 1,000 units during the final week of March 2026.

The company reported retail sales of 10,117 units in March 2026 (as per VAHAN data), representing a 150 percent increase from the 3,973 units recorded in February.

The demand recovery, the company said, follows a restructuring of its service operations. Ola Electric reported that 80 percent of vehicles are now serviced on the same day. This change is attributed to improved parts availability, faster diagnostics and tighter operational control. These measures were implemented to address previous service challenges and reduce turnaround times.

Furthermore, it has introduced complimentary cab rides in the event of service delays. Assured resale value for all vehicles in the portfolio.  An 8-year warranty covering the entire product range.

Interestingly, Ola Electric became the first Indian electric vehicle brand to surpass 1 million cumulative registrations on the VAHAN platform.

“We are seeing a clear inflection in demand, with daily orders scaling steadily through March and accelerating meaningfully in the final weeks. This momentum is being driven by the structural improvements in our service operations, which are now delivering faster turnaround times and a significantly better ownership experience. As customer confidence strengthens, we are seeing stronger conversion across our portfolio, giving us confidence that this recovery will further sustain and scale,” said Ola Electric in a statement.

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has announced a realignment of its motorsports programme, marking a formal entry into off-road racing. The move is intended to align the company’s domestic activities with Honda’s global focus on rally, motocross, and endurance formats.

After 18 years of involvement in Indian circuit racing, including the Honda One Make Race and the Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship (INMRC), HMSI is transitioning its resources toward dirt-based disciplines. This shift follows the growing popularity of rally and supercross in India.

Key elements of the transition include:

• Rider Development: Transitioning from Moto3-spec training on platforms like the NSF250R toward off-road rider development programmes.
• Market Alignment: Responding to a diverse audience base attracted to the accessibility of rally and dirt-track formats.
• Global Integration: Aligning Indian operations with international programmes such as the Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) and Honda’s global rally expertise.

In conjunction with its racing entry, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India is evaluating an expansion of its product portfolio. The company intends to focus on adventure and off-road-capable motorcycles to meet the increasing demand for all-terrain riding among Indian consumers.

The entry into off-road racing is expected to provide a testing ground for future motorcycle models tailored for Indian riding conditions while broadening participation in national motorsport.

“In India, off‑road racing has been witnessing growing popularity due to its high entertainment value and accessibility, attracting a wider and more diverse audience. With motorsport interest increasingly shifting toward rally, supercross, and dirt‑based formats, HMSI is evolving its motorsport direction accordingly by expanding its presence in off‑road racing categories while gradually transitioning from circuit racing activities,” the company said in a statement.
