Medial

IPO-bound Ola Electric has raised Rs 100 crore (approximately $12 million) in debt from Alteria Capital. This is the second round of debt funding for the Bengaluru-based company in 2024. The board at Ola Electric has passed a special resolution to issue 10,000 non-convertible dentures at an issue price of Rs 1,00,00 each to raise Rs 100 crore, its regulatory filings accessed from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show. The development comes after two months of its $50 million debt funding from EvolutionX. According to the filings, the debentures have an interest rate of 13.8% per annum with an additional 2% interest per month over and above the coupon rate, in case of default of interest. As per the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, the Bhavish Aggarwal-led company has raised more than $1 billion across equity and debt and was valued at $5.4 billion during the last round. In December 2023, Ola Electric filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Security Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an initial public offering (IPO) to raise Rs 5,500 crore ($660 million). As per media reports, the company has also received a green signal from market regulator SEBI for the public listing. Based on the DRHP filed by Ola Electric, Bhavish Aggarwal is the largest stakeholder with 36.94% followed by Soft Bank which commands 21.98% of the company. Tiger Global, Indus Trust, and Alpha Wave own 6.03%, 3.85% and 3.49%, respectively. Ola Electric grew at a rapid clip in FY23 which could be evident from its revenue that surged seven-fold to Rs 2,631 crore as compared to Rs 373 crore in FY22. Meanwhile, its losses increased by 87.76% to Rs 1,472 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2023. In the two-wheeler electric vehicles segment, the SoftBank-backed company competes with Hero Electric, Ather Energy, TVS, among others. As per Vahan data, Ola Electric controls 49% market share in two-wheeler EVs with 37,191 e-scooter registrations in May.

Electric mobility company Ola Electric has filed its first-ever quarterly result after becoming a public entity early this month. The company managed to improve its topline by 2.9% Q-o-Q while the losses for the SoftBank-backed firm declined by 16.6% in the same period. Ola Electric’s revenue from operations increased to Rs 1,644 crore in Q1 FY25 from Rs 1,598 crore in Q4 FY24, its unaudited consolidated financial statements sourced from the National Stock Exchange show. Income from the sale of electric scooters was the sole source of revenue for Ola Electric while the income from the sale of batteries contributed only a small portion in the first quarter of the ongoing fiscal year. For the EV scooter manufacturer, the cost of procurement of materials accounted for 72.5% of the total cost which stood at Rs 1,341 crore in Q1 FY24. Employee benefits, advertising, and technical support were some other cost centers, taking the total burn to Rs 1849 crore in Q1 FY25. The marginal increase in sales and cost-effective measures helped Ola Electric to control its losses by 16.6% to Rs 347 crore in Q1 FY25 as compared to Rs 416 crore in the last quarter of FY24. As per Vahan data, Ola Electric has continued to maintain its supremacy in electric two-wheeler space as it sold 41,597 units in July with a market share of 39%. TVS came in second place followed by Bajaj Auto, Ather Energy and Hero MotoCorp. In FY24, Ola Electric sold 3,29,618 scooters in FY24 — almost 2X as compared to FY23. This also reflected in the company’s scale which grew nearly two-fold to Rs 5,010 crore in FY24 from Rs 2,631 crore in FY23. Ola Electric went public this month and raised Rs 5,500 crore fresh issue and an offer for sale of up to 84,941,997 shares amounting to Rs 646 crore. The firm is currently trading at Rs 111 (as on 04.58 PM) with a total market capitalization of Rs 48,955 crore (approximately $5.9 billion)
