Last month, the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) sent Ola Electric a notice seeking an explanation from the SoftBank-backed company after the consumer rights agency received an unusually high 10,000 complaints.
Ola, India’s top e-scooter maker, responded that it had resolved 99.1% of the complaints.
After reviewing that response, the CCPA has now asked the Bureau of Indian Standards to conduct a detailed investigation into the matter, consumer affairs secretary Nidhi Khare said on Thursday.
Ola Electric did not immediately respond to a Reuters email seeking comment.
