Ola is an Indian ride-hailing platform offering cabs, autos, and bikes (service availability varies by city). Many “Ola user count” figures online are old and not maintained as an official KPI feed. For a 2026 update, the most reliable, time-stamped metrics are about Ola’s nationwide driver model change (zero commission / flat-fee access) and transparent web-traffic proxies.
Quick Answer (2026)
In mid-2025, Ola rolled out a zero-commission model across India that reports said covered over 1 million driver-partners, using a flat daily access fee (e.g., ₹67/day) instead of taking a percentage commission per ride. As a public proxy for current demand/interest, traffic estimates show olacabs.com received ~1.55M visits in January 2026.

Ola’s Zero-Commission (Flat Fee) Shift
In 2025, Ola’s most concrete, verifiable “scale” datapoint was not MAU—it was its nationwide shift in how it charges drivers. Coverage described a subscription-like model where drivers pay a daily access fee and keep their fares, replacing percentage commissions.
Traffic Proxy (2026 Snapshot)
Ola does not provide a consistently updated public MAU metric. One practical proxy is website traffic. Treat this as a reach indicator—not the same thing as monthly active riders.
- Estimated visits (Jan 2026): 1.55M visits to olacabs.com
