Ola Electric net loss narrows to seven-quarter low, revenue falls
Ola Electric is a company that makes electric scooters and motorcycles.
Every few months, it tells everyone how much money it made or lost.
In the last three months, it lost less money than it did before, which is good news.
But it sold far fewer vehicles than it did a year ago, so the money coming in dropped a lot.
The company cut its spending, which helped reduce its losses.
Even with fewer sales, more people bought its vehicles than in the previous three months.
The company is also trying a new way to sell vehicles through dealerships.
It wants to sell big batteries for storing energy and signed a deal to build huge battery storage systems.
The company hopes its sales and new businesses will grow in the coming months.
Ola Electric's consolidated net loss narrowed to a seven-quarter low of ₹336 crore in Q1FY27, beating analyst estimates of ₹385 crore.
Revenue fell 45% year-on-year to ₹455 crore, missing the Bloomberg estimate of ₹568 crore and the company's own guidance of ₹500-550 crore.
Vehicle deliveries dropped nearly 70% year-on-year to 39,192 units, while orders of 44,071 units came within the 40,000-45,000 guidance.
Sequential vehicle registrations nearly doubled to 43,921 units and market share expanded to 8.4% from 5.1%.
The company is expanding into a dealership model and plans to formally launch its Mahashakti energy storage platform on August 15.
