Ola Electric shares soar 18% even as Q1 loss widens; Here's why
The electric two-wheeler maker's stock rose as much as 17.9 per cent during the day to ₹46.8 per share, the biggest intraday rise since November 27, 2024. The stock pared gains to trade 15.5 per cent higher at ₹45.9 apiece, compared to a 0.39 per cent decline in Nifty 50 as of 1:35 PM.
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.
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.

Nifty 50, Sensex today: What to expect from Indian stock market in trade on July 30 ahead of US Fed policy
The Indian stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to see a tepid opening on Wednesday, tracking mixed cues from global markets. The trends on Gift Nifty also indicate a muted start for the Indian benchmark index. The Gift Nifty was trading around 24,825 level, a discount of nearly 13 points from the Nifty futures' previous close. On Tuesday, the domestic equity market witnessed fag-end short-covering and ended higher, with the Nifty 50 closing above 24,800 level. The Sensex rallied 446.93 points, or 0.55%, to close at 81,337.95, while the Nifty 50 settled 140.20 points, or 0.57%, higher at 24,821.10. Here's what to expect from Sensex, Nifty 50, and Bank Nifty today: Sesex saw an intraday reversal formation after a long correction, coupled with a bullish candle on the daily charts, indicating a further uptrend from the current levels. 'Technically, the chart reveals a resistance zone between 82,500 and 82,700. The price action remains constrained within this range, and a breakout above resistance could lead to fresh highs. However, if Sensex fails to sustain above 80,400 – 80,500, we may see selling pressure resume. The bullish close and strong intraday recovery signal growing confidence, possibly fueled by earnings optimism and short-term institutional buying,' said Om Ghawalkar, Market Analyst, According to him, if Sensex breaks and holds above 82,000, it could aim for the all-time high of 86,000. On the downside, 80,000 remains critical as it also acts like a psychological support. On the options front, the highest Call open interest (OI) for Nifty is seen at the 25,000 and 25,200 strike prices, highlighting potential resistance. On the Put side, the highest open interest is concentrated at the 24,800 strike, suggesting strong support. Together, the technical setup and derivative data signal a potential upside continuation as long as key support levels are held, said Mandar Bhojane, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst - Research at Choice Equity Broking. Nifty 50 rebounded after three sessions of decline and ended higher on July 29, forming a bullish 'Engulfing' candlestick pattern on the daily chart. 'Although the rebound provided a temporary pause to the decline, the Nifty 50 continues to trade below the 50-Day SMA (25,050) and the 20-day EMA (25,180), indicating ongoing short-term weakness. The RSI has edged up to 42, recovering modestly from oversold territory, but remains well below its signal line and under the neutral 50 mark. The daily Super trend is capping barriers within the broader trend,' said Om Mehra, Technical Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities. According to him, the immediate resistance is now seen at 25,000, followed by 25,100, which aligns with the short-term moving averages and the median of the recent decline. 'These levels must be crossed decisively to consider any reversal. On the downside, 24,470 remains the key support level; a breakdown below this may extend further weakness,' Mehra said. Om Ghawalkar noted that the rebound in Nifty 50 follows the formation of a three black crows pattern, a well-known bearish continuation signal in technical analysis, which had indicated increasing selling pressure. 'Nifty 50 found strong support in the 24,550 to 24,650 range, where it formed a bullish Marubozu candlestick. This type of candlestick often suggests aggressive buying and indicates that bulls may be re-entering the market with conviction. We can see that a short-term reversal may be in the making, particularly if the Nifty 50 can open and sustain above the 24,850 mark in today's trading session,' said Ghawalkar. A move above this level could signal the start of a renewed uptrend and encourage further participation from traders and investors, he added. VLA Ambala, Co-Founder of Stock Market Today highlighted that the Nifty 50 index found support at the 20-week EMA, however, the outlook for swing trading remains 'sell on rise', as the Nifty's RSI stands at 52 on the weekly timeframe. 'This suggests that any upward spike can be seen as a selling opportunity from a trading perspective. We can expect Nifty 50 to gain support between 24,600 and 24,520, and meet resistance near 24,850 and 25,080 in today's session,' Ambala said. Bank Nifty index ended 137.10 points, or 0.24%, higher at 56,222.00, closing above its 50-day EMA. 'Bank Nifty index formed a bullish engulfing candlestick pattern on the daily chart and managed to close above the 56,200 mark, indicating emerging strength. If the index manages to hold yesterday's low of 55,843, a pullback rally could extend towards 56,700 and 57,300 levels,' said Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivative Research, Asit C. Mehta Investment Interrmediates Ltd. He advises traders to follow a buy-on-dips strategy in Bank Nifty as long as it holds above 55,843 levels. Sudeep Shah, Head - Technical and Derivatives Research, SBI Securities believes the support zone of 55,800 – 55,700 for Bank Nifty will be crucial to watch, as holding above this band is essential to maintain the current short-term positive bias. 'On the flip side the resistance zone of 56,500 – 56,600 is expected to pose a significant challenge. A decisive and sustainable breakout above the 56,600 level could pave the way for an extended pullback rally with immediate upside targets at 57,000 followed by 57,500 in the near term,' Shah said.

Trump hints at 20-25% tariffs on Indian goods, says deal not final yet
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday (local time) that India could face tariff rates as high as 25 per cent on its exports to the US. He, however, emphasised that no final decision had been made yet. His remarks come as India and the US continue to work towards resolving long-standing trade disagreements. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One while returning from a five-day visit to Scotland, Trump confirmed that trade discussions with India were under way, reported Bloomberg. When asked about the possibility of tariffs ranging from 20 to 25 per cent, he responded, 'Yeah, I think so. India is my friend. They ended the war with Pakistan at my request. The deal with India is not finalised. India has been a good friend, but India has charged basically more tariffs than almost any other country,' Bloomberg quoted him as saying. While addressing the press, Trump also reiterated his claim of having brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor in May 2025. 'They ended the war with Pakistan at my request,' he said. US seeks more talks as India pushes for trade deal by 1 August India is racing to finalise a trade deal with the US as the 1 August deadline approaches. Officials from both countries are engaged in continuous negotiations, although major disagreements remain unresolved. Trump has repeatedly said in recent weeks that both sides are close to reaching an agreement. However, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told CNBC that talks with India might require more time, reported CNN. Greer noted that India had shown keen interest in opening segments of its market and said the US was open to continuing talks. However, he added that more negotiations would be needed to assess how far India was willing to go in terms of ambition. Fifth round of trade talks ends without breakthrough A negotiating team from India, led by chief negotiator Rajesh Agrawal, returned from Washington in July after concluding the fifth round of trade talks. The four-day dialogue ended without any breakthrough. Key points of contention include disagreements over agriculture, automobiles and, more recently, digital trade—a sector that has become a new sticking point since March. These unresolved issues have stalled progress despite repeated attempts to bridge the gap. India braces for higher tariffs, plans to resume talks Citing two Indian government sources, Reuters reported that New Delhi is preparing for the possibility of higher tariffs, likely between 20 and 25 per cent on select exports as a temporary measure.
