Ola Electric shares soar 9% even as Q1 loss widens; Here's why
The electric two-wheeler maker's stock rose as much as 9.47 per cent during the day to ₹43.5 per share, the biggest intraday rise since March 18 this year. The stock pared gains to trade 5.3 per cent higher at ₹41.9 apiece, compared to a 0.35 per cent decline in Nifty 50 as of 11:18 AM.
Shares of the company snapped a five-day losing streak on Monday and currently trade at 3.6 times the average 30-day trading volume, according to Bloomberg. The counter has fallen 51 per cent this year, compared to a 6 per cent advance in the benchmark Nifty 50. Ola Electric has a total market capitalisation of ₹18,768.08 crore.
Ola Electric Q1 results
The EV maker reported a net loss of ₹428 crore in the June quarter of the financial year 2026 (Q1-FY26), as against a loss of ₹347 crore in the same period last year. However, the reported loss was less than what analysts had anticipated, with Bloomberg consensus analysts expecting a loss of ₹452 crore.
The widening in loss came as the company's revenue halved to ₹828 crore in the first quarter versus ₹1,644 crore in the corresponding period last year. On the margins front, the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda) loss came in at ₹237 crore versus a loss of 205 crore earlier.
The company's auto segment turned Ebitda positive in June, driven by improved gross margins and cost efficiencies. The auto segment Ebitda improved to 11.6 per cent, compared to 90.6 per cent in the fourth quarter of the previous financial year. The company's cost optimisation initiative, Project Lakshya, has driven significant operating efficiencies, reducing monthly auto opex from ₹178 crore to ₹105 crore, the company said.
Ola Electric FY26 Outlook
The company delivered 68,192 vehicles during the quarter, marking a 32.7 per cent rise over the previous quarter.
It expects to sell between 3,25,000 and 3,75,000 vehicles in FY26, generating revenue in the range of ₹4,200 crore to ₹4,700 crore, it said in the exchange filing. With Production Linked Incentive (PLI) benefits set to begin from the second quarter for its Gen 3 product portfolio, gross margins are projected to improve to 35-40 per cent.
The company anticipates full-year auto Ebitda to exceed 5 per cent and expects the auto business to remain Ebitda-positive from the second quarter onwards.

Punjab's GST collection in July logs 32% jump
Finance, planning, excise and taxation minister Harpal Singh Cheema on Friday claimed that the state had once again broken records in tax revenue growth, with the Goods and Services Tax (GST) collection registering a net growth of 32.08% in July 2025 compared to the same period last year. Punjab finance minister Harpal Singh (HT) He said for the last three years, the state had been setting record-breaking growth in tax revenue year-on-year and month-on-month. In a press statement, the finance minister highlighted that the net GST revenue collected in July 2025 was ₹2,357.78 crore, a substantial increase of ₹572.71 crore compared to the ₹1,785.07 crore collected in July 2024. He further shared that up to July of the current financial year, net GST revenue had reached ₹9,188.18 crore, marking an increase of ₹2,025.36 crore over the ₹7,162.82 crore collected during the same period in the 2024-25 fiscal year. Cheema attributed this growth to the policies implemented by the Aam Aadmi Party-led Punjab government, which he claimed had fostered a conducive business environment and encouraged tax compliance. He said the department's enforcement actions had also curbed tax evasion, with a focus on providing assistance to honest taxpayers. Cheema revealed that the State Investigation and Preventive Unit (SIPU) recovered ₹156.40 crore in penalties during the first quarter of FY 2025-26. This includes ₹57.43 crore from road checks and ₹98.97 crore from inspections and verifications. Further, SIPU uncovered two significant GST fraud cases, involving ₹2,620.80 crore in fake transactions and estimated tax evasion of ₹296.32 crore, leading to two FIRs in June 2025. The finance minister said the Punjab government's proactive measures had positioned the state among the top performers in tax mobilisation, despite many challenges. He said the state's GST collection growth rate had consistently surpassed the national average, reflecting the effectiveness of the government's policies and initiatives.

Two-day mega job mela begins in Atmakur
Nellore: While asserting the TDP-led coalition government's commitment to providing jobs to the unemployed youth, Atmakur MLA and Endowments Minister Anam Ramanarayana Reddy has said that his ambition was to develop a dry land area like Atmakur by facilitating jobs to unemployed youth. The Endowments Minister along with noted scientist and State government's advisor Gundra Satish Reddy and Collector O Anand inaugurated a two-day mega job mela organised under the aegis of Andhra Pradesh State Development Corporation (APSDC) at Andhra Engineering College in Atmakur town on Friday. Speaking on the occasion, Ramanarayana Reddy said that the dry land area in Atmakur constituency was lagging behind in development for several decades due to unavailability of water and other natural resources. He pointed out that educated youth of Atmakur were migrating to other places for livelihood due to lack of proper job opportunities. The Minister said that to overcome the problem, he has decided to organise the job mela under the aegis of APSDC. National and State-level companies will take part in the two-day event. He said that as many as 90 companies participating in the job mela proposed to provide jobs to around 3,000 unemployed youth. He urged the youth to utilise the opportunity. Noted scientist and State government's advisor Gundra Satish Reddy has said that Anam Ramanarayana has worked hard for organising such a mega job mela. District Collector O Anand said that in the recent period, the administration has provided jobs to as many as 2,000 youth in various companies and some other applications are under consideration. He advised the youth to first join a job whether it is a small or big one, because such an initiative will be like a stepping stone to help them occupy higher positions later.

Tata Motors , Mahindra & Mahindra, Bajaj Auto , Ola Electric and TVS Motor Co are among the major companies that have raised claims under the scheme till now.
