Ola Electric stock hits fresh low amid Bhavish Aggarwal’s third straight stake sale
Medial

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.

Ola Electric’s E2W market share slumps to under 6% in Jan 2026 from 24.8% a year ago The Indian electric two wheeler market has seen significant shifts, particularly for Bhavish Aggarwal led Ola Electric, which was once the dominant player with over 35% market share at the end of 2024 but has since slipped to under 6%. Ola Electric’s overall market share since January 2025 accounted for 14.9%, translating to about 2.04 lakh units. This represents a sharp decline from 2024, when Ola Electric recorded 4.07 lakh registrations and commanded a 35.47% market share. According to Vahan data, as of January 2025, Ola Electric led the electric two wheeler market with a 24.8% share, closely followed by legacy players TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto at 24.41% and 21.81%, respectively. Ather Energy ranked fourth with a 13.31% share, followed by Greaves Electric Mobility and Hero MotoCorp. Following January 2025, Ola Electric’s market share began to decline amid controversies over persistent customer complaints, including reports of defects, safety concerns, and weaknesses in service and after-sales support. In February 2025, its market share slipped to 11.31%. However, the company saw a partial recovery during the year, with its share improving to 21.42% in April and remaining relatively consistent for the following few months. Since September 2025, the company’s sales and market share have steadily declined. In November, its market share fell to 7.16%, and by January 2026 it dropped to a new low of 5.87%, with just 5,488 registrations. On the other hand, rival Ather Energy recorded a 72% jump in sales, rising from 1.26 lakh units in 2024 to 2.18 lakh units in 2025. Its market share increased from 13.31% in January 2025 to 18.16% in January 2026. After overtaking Ola Electric in market capitalization, Ather also surpassed it in Q2 FY26 revenue, posting Rs 899 crore. Ather’s current market capitalization stands at Rs 23,712 crore, or about $2.63 billion. Legacy players such as TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto have remained consistent in sales throughout the year and continued to dominate the market. Between January 2025 and January 2026, they held overall market shares of 23.75% and 21.05%, with registrations of 3.26 lakh and 2.89 lakh units, respectively. Ola Electric’s downturn has also been reflected in its stock market performance, with the share price hitting an all-time low of Rs 30.79 today, sharply down from its listing price of Rs 75. Notably, within a few weeks of its August 2024 listing, the stock had surged to around Rs 150. The company’s current market capitalization stands at Rs 14,115 crore, or about $1.56 billion.

Ola Electric under alleged insider trading probe; company responds

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.
