Ola Electric Q4 Net Loss Narrows to Rs 500 Crore as Revenue Falls 57%

Ola Electric Mobility reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 500 crore in Q4 FY26, narrowing 42.5% year-on-year from Rs 870 crore, despite a 56.6% decline in revenue to Rs 265 crore due to lower sales volumes. The quarter marked the company's first operating cash flow positive period, supported by improved gross margins of 38.5%, cost rationalization, and tighter working capital. Ola Electric expects a strong recovery in Q1 FY27 with revenue projected to exceed Rs 500 crore and orders nearly doubling, driven by service improvements and sales momentum.
