Ola Electric
Latest, updated : Ola Electric's Letter of Offer dated 7 October says its reported sales data may be inaccurate.
What it means
Ola Electric's loss is more than half its revenue: its launches, discounts and dealer incentives are still subsidised.
Reported: Net loss of ₹336 cr on revenue of ₹455 cr in Q1 FY27.
Watch: Q2 FY27 results, expected early Nov — net loss wider than Q1's ₹336 cr.
- Affected
- Ola Electric's component suppliers — credit risk on every invoiceDo now: keep it on short payment terms until its next results: a partner losing that much a quarter prices for growth, not your margin.
- Ather Energy and Bajaj Auto — subsidised prices to faceDo now: don't match Ola Electric's subsidised prices while it runs at a loss; its next results show how long it can keep them.
