Ola Electric shares rally 25% in 2 days. Analysts say ₹57 within reach; should you buy?
Ola Electric Mobility shares have staged a sharp rebound this week, rallying 24.6 per cent in just two sessions after a steep slide through most of 2025. The stock jumped as much as 14.5 per cent on Wednesday to ₹51.33 on the BSE, extending Tuesday's 8.8 per cent surge, as investors weighed looming Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms that analysts warn could tilt demand back toward conventional cars against tentative signs of fresh momentum in the beaten-down EV maker. Shares of Ola Electric Mobility have been battered this year, down over 41 per cent in 2025 and having fallen 63 per cent over the past 12 months. On Wednesday, however, about 2,376.75 lakh Ola Electric shares worth ₹1,136.80 crore were traded on the NSE. The rebound came after Ola Electric bucked a broad auto rally on Monday, slipping 0.3 per cent to ₹41.21 even as the Nifty Auto index surged 4.2 per cent on optimism that cuts in India's Goods and Services Tax could stoke demand for cars and two-wheelers. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said last week that the government plans to lower GST rates on several goods and services by Diwali. Proposals under discussion include slashing GST on small cars to 18 per cent from 28 per cent , according to Reuters. HSBC Global Research said a cut 'may positively impact auto demand, though OEM-wise impact may vary,' while cautioning it could be negative for EVs if some states respond by raising road taxes. Nomura echoed the concern, noting that 'if the GST cut on ICE happens, it is likely to significantly impact EV adoption… as the price gap between EVs (taxed at 5 per cent ) and ICE (taxed at 28 per cent plus cess) would increase sharply.' The policy uncertainty comes as Ola Electric is already battling weak financials. For the quarter ended June 30, the company posted a consolidated net loss of ₹428 crore, up 23 per cent year-on-year, while revenues halved to ₹828 crore. EBITDA losses widened to ₹237 crore, with margins slipping to -28.6 per cent from -12.5 per cent a year earlier. Technical picture Despite pressures, some analysts see signs of bottom formation. 'Ola Electric has been consolidating near the ₹39 support zone over the past few weeks, with multiple Doji candles signaling price stabilization,' said Laxmikant Shukla, Technical Analyst at YES Securities. He added that a move above the 50-day SMA suggests 'a pullback from current levels,' with a buy range of ₹43-44 and a stop-loss at ₹39. Anuj Gupta, Director at Ya Wealth, noted that 'Ola is in the oversold zone. A recovery is expected, and the risk-reward looks favorable. Strong support lies at ₹39, and the stock has potential to rise. Its lifetime high was ₹157.40.' Mandar Bhojane, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst at Choice Broking, said the stock 'has formed a falling channel and is now on the verge of a breakout with strong volumes.' He added that sustaining above ₹46 could open the way for targets of ₹52.5 and ₹57.5. Long-term story From a fundamental perspective, some view Tuesday's rebound as evidence that investors are looking past near-term uncertainty. 'The stock's performance underscores the market's focus on operational execution and the company's expansion trajectory rather than short-term policy noise,' said Anirudh Garg, Partner and Fund Manager at INVasset PMS. Garg cautioned that a GST cut on small cars and two-wheelers could pose 'a near-term challenge' by making ICE vehicles cheaper but argued that Ola's long-term strategy remains intact, pointing to its Gen-4 platform spanning electric cars, rickshaws, and light commercial vehicles. 'The recent intra-day surge of over 10 per cent reflects confidence in the company's expansion plans,' he added, highlighting near-term resistance at ₹55-57 and support at ₹41-42. Investors weigh risk and reward Ola Electric share price continue to trade below long-term averages, with the Relative Strength Index at 48.5 and MACD at -0.6, signaling lingering bearish undertones. Yet analysts note growing participation from both retail and institutional investors. 'The near-term correction has created a lower entry point, and for investors with a medium-to-long-term horizon, the stock offers attractive potential relative to the current risk,' Garg said.

Vedanta share price falls as Supreme Court rejects Talwandi Sabo's plea for additional compensation
Vedanta share price fell over a percent on Wednesday after the Supreme Court dismissed a plea by the Vedanta Group seeking additional compensation for its Punjab-based Talwandi Sabo Power project. Vedanta shares fell as much as 1.32% to ₹ 444.15 apiece on the BSE. The company had approached the apex court challenging the withdrawal of 'deemed export' benefits and sought higher compensation, a report said. The Supreme Court upheld the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity's (APTEL) order, ruling that Talwandi Sabo was never legitimately entitled to such benefits. This effectively closes the door on any additional financial relief from the project. Earlier, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) had also rejected the proposed demerger of Talwandi Sabo Power Ltd, a subsidiary of Vedanta. The SC ruling effectively closes the door on additional financial inflows from Talwandi Sabo, tightening the company's legal and financial options. At 12:10 PM, Vedanta share price was trading 0.19% lower at ₹ 449.25 apiece on the BSE.
