Ola Electric, an electric two-wheeler manufacturer, has seen a decline in its market share over the past three months. The Bengaluru-based company’s market share dropped to 27% in September, down from 32% in August and 39% in the previous month. Ola Electric achieved its highest market share during Q1 FY25 (June quarter), reaching a milestone of 49%. As per Vahan data, Ola Electric sold 23,965 units in September compared to 26,928 units in August and 40, 814 units in July. The Bhavish Aggarwal-led firm also hit an 11-month low of 23,965 units. Baja Auto, TVS Motors, Ather Energy and Hero MotoCorp were the next on the list with 21.27%, 20.26%, 14% and 5% market shares, respectively. This drop in market share follows a report from Goldman Sachs, which projected that Ola Electric is expected to reach EBITDA breakeven by the fiscal year ending March 2027. The decline in sales can be attributed to several factors, including customer complaints, malfunctioning hardware, and software glitches, among others. According to a recent report, Ola Electric received approximately 80,000 customer complaints per month. For the June quarter (Q1FY25), Ola Electric’s revenue from operations grew only 2.8% to Rs 1,644 crore in Q1 FY25 from Rs 1,598 crore in Q4 FY24. The company, however, managed to control its losses by 16.6% to Rs 347 crore in Q1 FY25. During the last fiscal year (FY24), it reported Rs 5,010 crore revenue and Rs 1,584 core loss. Ola Electric, which was listed on the stock exchange in early August, saw its share price drop below Rs 100 on Monday for the first time since its listing. Currently, its shares are trading at around Rs 102 each. The initial public offering (IPO) was priced at Rs 76 per share.

Electric scooter manufacturer Ola Electric, which recently went public, has registered a major downfall in its market share among the electric two wheelers segment in the past two months. Ola Electric market share subsequently slipped to 39% in July and further down to 33% in August (month-to-date), according to investment banking and capital markets firm Jefferies. At the same time, TVS regained market share at 19% at August (MTD) against 15% in Q1 FY25. Ola Electric has emerged as the dominant OEM in India’s electric two-wheelers market as its market share rose from 21% in FY23 to 35% in FY24 and further to 49% in Q1 FY25, the report added. Jefferies attributes expansion of product portfolio and aggressive pricing to the rise in Ola Electric’s market share. During FY24, Ola Electric sold 3,29,618 scooters, 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. As per the report, Bajaj’s market share has also risen from 11% in FY24 and 12% in Q1 FY25 to 18% in August MTD. Hero is still lagging among incumbents with 5% market share in August while Honda has no-play in the electric space. Meanwhile, the Bhavish Aggarwal-led company has announced plans to launch affordable electric motorcycles Roadster which will be ready for delivery by Diwali next year. Despite the fall in volume, the electric two wheeler space continues to be dominated by Ola Electric followed by TVS, Bajaj Auto, Ather Energy and Hero MotoCorp. Interestingly, Jefferies’ report has not mentioned anything on Ather, which recently turned unicorn and is on the verge of becoming the second public company from the EV startup ecosystem. Currently, Ola Electric’s shares are trading at Rs 128, up from the initial public offering price of Rs 76 per share.

Ola Electric sells 25,000 units in Feb, expands market lead with 28% share EV manufacturer Ola Electric on Friday said that it has sold over 25,000 units in February 2025, maintaining its 28% market share in the electric two-wheeler (2W) segment. In January, Ola Electric reclaimed its top spot in the electric two-wheeler segment with a 24.91% market share. The Bhavish Aggarwal-led company made a comeback after Bajaj and TVS Motor overtook it in December. “With our strong scooter portfolio and 4,000-store network, we are seeing growing demand from Tier 3 and 4 towns. With Roadster X deliveries set to begin next month, we aim to accelerate EV adoption further,” said a company spokesperson in a stock exchange filing. As per the latest VAHAN data (12 PM, Friday), Bajaj has sold 20,006 units, followed by TVS with 17,603, Ather Energy with 11,129, and Greaves Electric Mobility with 3,492 units. The data currently shows 8,390 units for Ola Electric, which is expected to be updated by the end of the day. In a strategic decision, Ola Electric recently renegotiated its contracts with vehicle registration agencies. The company stated that this may temporarily affect VAHAN portal numbers, but the move is aimed at reducing costs and optimizing the registration process. Ola’s Futurefactory and EV hub in Tamil Nadu played a key role in its growth, along with its Battery Innovation Centre (BIC) in Bengaluru. With over 750 company-owned stores, Ola Electric claims that it has the largest EV retail network in India.

Ola Electric, the Bengaluru-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, is projected to reach EBITDA breakeven by the fiscal year ending March 2027, according to a recent report by Goldman Sachs. The company is expected to see its revenue grow at 2.5 times the current rate, with a fivefold increase in vehicle volume over the next three years. “We expect FY24 to FY30E revenue growth of +40% CAGR (vs FY22 to FY24 of +240%), implying FCF breakeven (ex-subsidies) in FY30E. We expect OLAE to achieve 11.9% / 27% EBITDA margin / ROIC by FY30E vs -19.7% / -32.0% pc in FY24,” said the Goldman Sachs report. Despite the promising projection, Ola Electric’s revenue growth in FY24 and FY21 Q1 has been modest.

Currently, Ola Electric shares are trading at Rs 113 per share. The brokerage firm expects Ola Electric’s revenue to increase by over 40% from FY24 to FY27. In contrast, TVS Motor, Bajaj Auto, and Hero MotoCorp are projected to grow by 16%, 19%, and 10%, respectively. As per the report, Ola Electric’s products are approximately 18% cheaper on a running cost basis when compared to its EV peers.
