New Delhi, Nov 27 (PTI) Shares of Ola Electric Mobility Ltd surged 20 per cent on Wednesday following announcement of its foray into the commercial segment with the launch of 'Gig' range of scooters.

The stock jumped 19.99 per cent to settle at Rs 88.16 -- its upper circuit limit -- on the BSE.

At the NSE, it zoomed 19.99 per cent to Rs 88.10 -- the highest trading permissible limit for the day.

Ola Electric on Tuesday announced its foray into the commercial segment with the launch of 'Gig' range of scooters with an introductory price of Rs 39,999, targeting gig workers.

The company also launched its S1 Z model, a personal-use electric scooter aimed at urban commuters priced at Rs 59,999.

The Gig range has been designed to address the needs of gig workers involved in both shorter and longer trips through two variants -- 'Gig' and 'Gig+' -- with introductory prices of Rs 39,999 and Rs 49,999 (ex-showroom), respectively.

The range will be available for business-to-business (B2B) purchases and rentals, Ola Electric said in a statement.
