Ola Electric is moving the delivery for the first batch of its electric scooters to between December 15 to the end of the month, a two- to four-week delay from its earlier schedule, due to a shortage of chipsets and electronic parts.

Ola has apologised to customers for the delay and said it is "ramping up production as fast as we can so that you can get your Ola S1 at the earliest". It has stopped taking any new bookings until the chip shortage has eased, say sources.

Omicron fear: Lower footfall and sales have hit high street stores, malls

Fewer trips to malls mean lower footfall and sales, resulting in higher piling of stock - and possibly higher discounts.
