Ola's e-scooter fire was among a spate of similar recent incidents that triggered an uproar on social media and an investigation by the Indian government.
There may be more fires in electric scooters in the future but such incidents are very rare, the chief executive of Ola Electric said at a private company event, after safety concerns were heightened by a fire in one of its scooters in March.
Ola's e-scooter fire was among a spate of similar recent incidents that triggered an uproar on social media and an investigation by the Indian government.
The company, backed by Japan's SoftBank Group, has recalled more than 1,400 e-scooters and appointed external experts to investigate the cause.
"Will there be occurrences in the future, there might be," Chief Executive Bhavish Aggarwal responded, when asked a question about the fires at a private event on Sunday.
