Ola Electric Q4 Results: Two-wheeler electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Ola Electric on Thursday, May 29, informed that its consolidated net loss for the January-March (Q4) quarter of the financial year 2024-25 more than doubled to ₹ 870 crore amid a sharp decline in topline. The net loss in the corresponding quarter last year stood at ₹ 416 crore.
The revenue from operations tumbled 62% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹ 611 crore during the quarter under review. In the January-March 2024 quarter, the company's revenue stood at ₹ 1,508 crore.
The consolidated segment EBITDA loss for the March 2025 quarter was at ₹ 658 crore, a multifold rise over the EBITDA loss of ₹ 269 crore posted in the year-ago period. Meanwhile, the EBITDA margin was down 101.4%.
The company expects its gross margins to improve to approximately 35% in Q2 FY26. It also targets the Auto segment EBITDA profitability through FY26.
In Q4 FY25, Ola delivered 51,375 units, a decline of 55% over 1,15,386 units in Q4 FY24.
Ola has struggled with slowing sales, regulatory pressure and competition from established two-wheeler makers ever since its stock market debut in August 2024. The company is yet to report a profit.
For the full financial year, however, Ola claimed, quoting VAHAN data, that it was the market leader, with 3,59,221 units delivered in FY25, as against 3,29,549 units delivered in FY24, on the back of its improved Gen 3 S1 scooter portfolio, capturing a market share of 30%.
Commenting on its roadmap for FY26, Ola said it will focus on scaling revenue and operating leverage as it eyes profitability.
'With a robust product roadmap, vertical integration and R&D focus, and strong distribution and service infrastructure, Ola Electric is well-positioned to drive the next phase of EV adoption in India across both scooters and motorcycles,' the company said.

Ola Electric's founder Bhavish Aggarwal pays ₹20 crore to top up collateral as shares slide
Bhavish Aggarwal, founder and chief executive officer of Ola Electric Mobility Ltd., paid about 200 million rupees ($2.3 million) in cash to top up collateral for borrowings against shares, according to people with knowledge of the matter, as the stock slid on poor sales. Aggarwal had raised 2.5 billion rupees for his generative AI venture Krutrim Data Center Pvt. by pledging Ola Electric equity and he voluntarily put in the extra money since March as the shares dipped below 50 rupees each, the people said, asking not to be identified as the details are private. No margin calls were triggered and the value of the stock collateral is more than twice the borrowed amount, they added. Investors are closely watching SoftBank Group Corp.-backed Ola Electric, whose shares have fallen about 35% since it listed at 76 rupees in August. Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Corp. cut their stakes in the company in recent days after the Indian e-scooter firm said quarterly losses have more than doubled amid regulatory and governance concerns. Aggarwal has pledged or encumbered about 8% of his 30% Ola Electric stake, according to exchange data. Avendus Group, InCred Alternative Investments Pvt. and Modulus Alternatives Investment Managers had lent him the money in exchange for bonds issued by Krutrim, carrying coupon rates of around 14.9%-15.9% and backed by Ola Electric shares, according to data published by Bloomberg and one of the people. Avendus and InCred declined to comment. Modulus didn't immediately respond to Bloomberg's email seeking comment. A representative for Ola Electric said all founder pledges have been disclosed and there are no more material developments; it declined to comment on what it said were 'speculative' reports. As the value of the Ola Electric shares dipped, Aggarwal pre-funded 3-4 months of accrued interest instead of topping up the collateral with more shares, one of the people said. Aggarwal earned some 2.8 billion rupees having sold a portion of his Ola Electric stake in the IPO.
