Ola Electric Mobility Pvt. has received a domestic value addition certificate under the production-linked incentive scheme for the automobile and auto component industry.
The company said that it is the first Indian two-wheeler maker to receive the certificate and it successfully met the local value-add criteria of 50% as mandated by the Ministry of Heavy Industries, according to a release on Wednesday.
The certification has been granted by the Automotive Research Association of India after testing the product and checking the localisation standards of the components.
