Ola Electric’s technical breakout: sign of an EV shift or short-lived hype?

by September 1, 2025
by September 1, 2025

Ola Electric’s stock leaped as much as 13% on Monday, extending the two-week uptrend that has driven gains of over 45% since mid-August.

Key triggers behind this spike include strong technical momentum: the stock performed a breakout above previous resistance, supported by high volume and a series of higher price lows.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) touched 75, signalling an overbought zone and hinting at either a pause or profit booking ahead.

The underlying catalyst was regulatory: Ola’s top-selling Gen 3 scooter range received coveted Production Linked Incentive (PLI) certification, making the company eligible for government support worth 13–18% of sales until 2028.

This covers the lion’s share of Ola’s scooter volume and is intended to boost both margins and profitability from Q2 FY26 onwards.

Management and analysts say the improvement in cost structure could be significant, positioning Ola closer to EBITDA positivity “sooner than earlier expected”.

In addition to PLI benefits, investors have reacted positively to Ola’s push into local battery manufacturing, efforts to reduce dependence on rare earth metals, and technological upgrades in charging speed.

The company also launched new models like the S1 Pro Sport and Roadster X+, aiming for delivery rollouts through late 2025 and early 2026.

Ola Electric’s stock: Financial progress, but caution lingers

Despite the stock euphoria, Ola’s underlying financials are still under pressure.

For Q1 FY26, Ola reported a net loss of ₹428 crore, wider than the previous year but an improvement from the March quarter as operating costs fell.

Quarterly revenues halved year-on-year to ₹828 crore, though gross margin improved to 25.6%.

Notably, Ola’s auto segment turned EBITDA positive for the first time in June, reflecting impact from cost cuts, vertical integration, and initial incentives.

The company has guided for full-year improved profitability and a gross margin target of 35–40% in subsequent quarters, contingent on higher PLI benefits and growing market share.

Ola delivered 68,192 vehicles in Q1, with new models expected to drive further growth.

However, the stock still trades 43% lower year-to-date and remains well beneath its ₹76 IPO price.

Sentiment among analysts is mixed as some see Ola as a potential long-term winner in the Indian EV sector, especially as production scale rises and policy support persists.

The others point to continued cash flow challenges, pressure to capture and defend market share, and the memory of this year’s steep share declines.

Inflection point, or passing wave?

The current rally in Ola Electric is an intersection of bullish policy momentum, early signs of financial improvement, and technical excitement.

If cost controls, PLI incentives, and ambitious production targets are delivered on, Ola could indeed mark a turning point for India’s EV industry.

But with losses still substantial, the market likely awaits proof of sustained profitability to turn recent optimism into long-term conviction. For now, the rally is equal parts hope and risk, a microcosm of the maturing Indian EV marketplace.
