Ola Electric Mobility faced a significant setback as its stocks plunged by 6.1% in a single trading session, hitting an all-time low of ₹43.20 per share. This decline marked a stark contrast to the IPO price of ₹76 per share and the premium listing at ₹91.20 per share since the company went public last August. The stock had already been under pressure due to undisclosed transactions involving 0.8% of equity.
According to data from Bloomberg, the recent share price drop coincided with mounting losses for Ola Electric. In the fourth quarter of FY25, the company reported a loss of ₹870 crore, a substantial increase from the previous year’s ₹416 crore loss. This financial strain was further reflected in a 59.5% decline in revenue from operations, which stood at ₹611 crore in Q4 FY25.
Despite these challenges, Ola Electric showcased year-on-year growth in its business operations. By the end of FY25, the company had delivered 3,59,221 electric scooters, marking a 9% increase from the previous year. While Ola Electric ceded the top spot in monthly sales to TVS, it still maintained a leading position in the electric scooter market ahead of competitors like Ather Energy and Hero MotoCorp.
However, Ola Electric’s reputation took a hit due to ongoing issues with customer support and service station reliability. These concerns not only tarnished the brand image but also impacted sales performance. With competitors like Ather Energy, Ultraviolette Automotive, and Hero Vida ramping up their sales strategies, Ola Electric faces the risk of losing ground in the evolving electric vehicle market.
Looking ahead, the company must address these challenges swiftly to remain competitive and regain consumer trust. Failure to adapt to changing market dynamics and improve customer experience could further jeopardize Ola Electric’s position in the increasingly competitive electric scooter segment.
As the electric scooter industry continues to evolve, companies like Ola Electric must navigate a landscape shaped by technological advancements, shifting consumer preferences, and regulatory changes. By focusing on innovation, sustainability, and customer-centric strategies, electric scooter manufacturers can stay ahead of the curve and drive growth in the rapidly expanding market.
