This will result in the release of all previously pledged 3.93% shares, removing a key overhang. “This action is taken to eliminate all promoter pledges, which can introduce avoidable risk and volatility. It is part of the founder's conviction that Ola Electric should operate with zero pledge overhang, and he should fully unwind the leverage,” the company added through the release. Prior to the transaction, Aggarwal held 1,323,960,029 shares in Ola Electric, translating to a 30.02% stake in the company. Following the sale, his shareholding has come down to 1,29,77,03,281 shares, or about 29.4%. In terms of EV sales, Ola slipped to fourth position for November with its market share shrinking to 7.19%, a stunning reversal from the top spot it held during the same month a year earlier. The company also registered a harsh 50% month-on-month drop in November, with registrations plunging to 8,254 units from 16,013 in October.

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 stock hits fresh low amid Bhavish Aggarwal’s third straight stake sale Bhavish Aggarwal has offloaded shares for the third straight trading session, selling 2.83 crore equity shares at an average price of Rs 31.9 per share, amounting to Rs 90.28 crore, according to exchange disclosures. The latest transaction comes even as Ola Electric’s stock slid to a fresh 52-week low during the day, intensifying investor concerns around sustained promoter selling. With this tranche, Aggarwal has now sold over 9.6 crore shares in three consecutive sessions, taking the total value of stake sales this week to nearly Rs 325 crore. Earlier, he had sold shares worth Rs 92 crore on December 16, followed by a larger Rs 142 crore divestment on December 17. Ola Electric has previously clarified that the stake sales are part of a one-time monetisation exercise aimed at repaying a Rs 260-crore promoter-level loan and fully unwinding pledged shares, and do not signal any dilution of promoter control or long-term commitment to the company. The company had indicated that proceeds from the earlier tranches were being used to clean up the promoter’s personal balance sheet and remove a pledge overhang. However, the continued selling, particularly at a time when the stock is trading near record lows, has kept the counter under pressure. Ola Electric’s shares have now fallen sharply from their post-listing levels, reflecting a combination of promoter stake sales, weak market sentiment, and ongoing concerns around EV demand, competitive intensity, and execution challenges in the two-wheeler segment. Ola slipped to fourth position in terms of 2W EV Sales for November with its market share shrinking to 7.19%. The company also registered a harsh 50% month-on-month drop in November, with registrations plunging to 8,254 units from 16,013 in October. For the second quarter of the ongoing fiscal year FY26, Ola Electric’s revenue fell 46% to Rs 660 crore, while losses widened to Rs 418 crore.
