Ola Electric’s revenue continues its downward spiral with yet another sharp drop in the latest quarter. The EV maker’s revenue shrank by 55% year-on-year during the third quarter of FY26. However, the Bengaluru-based firm managed to cut its losses by 14% in the period. Ola Electric's revenue from operations reduced to 470 crore in Q3 FY26, compared to Rs 1,045 crore in the previous year of the same quarter, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) show. Electric scooter sales remained the primary revenue driver for Ola Electric in the first quarter of FY26, while battery sales contributed only a marginal portion. Other income related to batteries and automobiles took the company’s total revenue of Rs 504 crore in Q3 FY26, down sharply from Rs 1,172 crore in the same quarter last year. Procurement costs accounted for 31% of Ola Electric’s total expenses in Q3 FY26, standing at Rs 309 crore, according to the company’s disclosure on NSE. Employee benefits decreased by 10% to Rs 92 crore in Q3 FY26. Overall, the company controlled its total expense decreased by 43% to Rs 991 crore in Q3 FY26 from Rs 1,736 in Q3 FY25.

On a sequential basis, the company’s losses increased 17% from Rs 418 crore in Q2 FY26.

In contrast, Ather Energy increased its share during the period, while TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto maintained steady volumes. The shift indicates a redistribution of market share among established and emerging players.

Ola Electric under alleged insider trading probe; company responds Ola Electric issued a clarification through a stock exchange filing, stating that the trades referred to were routine transactions involving shares acquired through exercising these ESOPs and not through the open market purchase. Ola Electric is reportedly under the regulatory lens, claiming that SEBI may investigate the electric vehicle maker for alleged insider trading. According to the report, the probe concerns suspicious trading patterns in the company's unlisted shares ahead of key internal developments. In response, Ola Electric issued a clarification through a stock exchange filing, stating that the trades referred to were routine transactions involving shares acquired through exercising these ESOPs and not through the open market purchase. The development follows an earlier warning from SEBI in January 2025, when the regulator flagged Ola Electric for breaching disclosure norms. At the time, the company had publicized a major retail expansion via social media before informing the stock exchanges, prompting SEBI to caution the startup against selective disclosure and remind it to adhere strictly to disclosure regulations under the SEBI (LODR) rules. In February 2025, a discrepancy emerged between Ola Electric’s reported sales figures of 25,000 vehicles and the approximately 8,600 vehicle registrations recorded on the government’s VAHAN portal. Ola Electric explained that the gap was a result of ongoing negotiations with its vehicle registration vendors. In April, the company secured the second position in the electric two-wheeler segment, with TVS Motor emerging as the market leader. Ola Electric's share price has declined to Rs 48.53, bringing its estimated market capitalization down to Rs 21,405 crore (approximately $2.5 billion). In Q3 FY25 (ended December 2024), the company reported a 19.4% year-on-year drop in operating revenue, falling to Rs 1,045 crore from Rs 1,296 crore in the same quarter last year. At the same time, its net loss widened significantly—up 50% year-on-year—to Rs 564 crore. Disclaimer: Bareback Media has recently raised funding from a group of investors.
