📉70% Crash: Inside the Fall of India’s Most Hyped EV Company Is It Time to Exit?

Fri May 30, 2025

🚨 Ola Electric Share Price Falls 10%: What's Behind the Decline?

Ola Electric Mobility Ltd., one of India's most promising EV startups, is facing its toughest challenge yet. The company's shares plunged another 10% today, hitting a new low of ₹48.07 - a shocking 70% drop from its peak in August 2024 and 37% below its IPO price of ₹76. With market cap now under ₹22,500 crore, investors are asking: 

Can Ola Electric recover?

📉 Consistent Losses and Dwindling Performance

The latest numbers paint a grim picture:

  • 🔥 Q4 losses doubled to ₹870 crore
  • 📉 Revenue crashed 62% (₹611 crore vs last year)
  • 🚗 Deliveries halved - from 1.15 lakh to just 51,375 units
  • 💸 EBITDA margin at -101.4% (yes, that's negative!)

Market experts point to high warranty costs and operational inefficiencies as key culprits behind these shocking numbers.

  • ⚠️ Rising warranty costs eating into margins
  • 📉 Weaker-than-expected sales volumes
  • ⏳ Delays in new model launches

🔍 Auditor's Red Flag: Can Ola Survive?

Auditors BSR & Co LLP dropped a bombshell in their report, questioning Ola's ability to continue as a 'going concern'. The reason? A staggering ₹2,391 crore in negative cash flows last year.

While they've signed off on the accounts, this warning has sent shockwaves through investor circles.

🚀 What's Next for Ola Electric?

The company is pinning its hopes on:

  • ✂️ Aggressive cost-cutting measures
  • 🔄 Transition to Gen-3 platform
  • 🏍️ Upcoming electric motorcycle launches

But here's the catch - analysts have already slashed volume projections by 34% for Financial Year 2026-2027, citing slower industry growth and execution delays.

💡 Conclusion:

Ola Electric's story reflects the harsh realities of the EV startup ecosystem. After raising ₹6,145 crore in its 2024 IPO, the Bengaluru-based company now faces its toughest test yet.

Key challenges ahead:

  1. 🔋 Restoring consumer confidence in product quality
  2. 💰 Stopping the cash burn
  3. 📈 Delivering on promised new models

The road to recovery won't be easy, but in the fast-evolving Indian EV market, Ola still has a fighting chance - if it can execute flawlessly from here.
