Earlier, the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) had issued a notice to Ola Electric after a large number of complaints. Last month, CCPA had sought response from the company regarding about 10,000 complaints from customers. However, Ola Electric had said that it has resolved more than 99 percent of these complaints.
