Ola Electric Mobility shares fell 5% following reports of regulatory raids and seizures. Alleged violations include operating showrooms without required trade certificates under the Motor Vehicles Act. Despite responding that the findings were "misplaced," Ola faces investigations by transport authorities. The company expanded to 4,000 stores, though data indicates many lack necessary certification. This comes amid customer complaints and regulatory scrutiny. The shares, already on a downward trend, closed nearly 5% lower.

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.
