In the 7 metropolitan cities, over 16.1 million litres of fuel was saved, which is 4 times the amount saved in 2016. This led to a reduction in the CO2 emissions by 9.7 million kg.

Ola outstation, a service that catered to over 1 million customers this year, recorded that it has covered India’s road length 53 times over the course of the year, covering approximately 17.35 crore km across 800 destinations, with Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi being the most popular destinations visited.
