The person said the growth in June registrations marks a "clear shift in trajectory, signalling that Ola Electric is regaining pace after a tempered Q4 FY25. The recent uptick also suggests sustained demand recovery heading into the second quarter".
Mired in aftersales and service issues in the past, Ola Electric's performance in Q1 FY26 may well serve as a turning point in its growth narrative, said the source, adding that pick up in volumes, revenue trending upward, and improvement in gross margins augur well for the company.

Ola Electric's sales growth comes on the back of a four-fold increase in its network, reaching 4,000 stores in December last year. The expansion spanned beyond metros and Tier I and II cities into smaller towns and tehsils.
The company had faced multiple challenges in FY25. It had cut around 1,000 jobs across different functions as part of a restructuring exercise to reduce losses.
In March, the company's arm, Ola Electric Technologies Pvt Ltd, settled all dues with its erstwhile vehicle

service provider Rosmerta Group, which had sought to initiate insolvency proceedings against the company.
Last year, the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) had ordered a detailed probe into complaints related to alleged "deficiencies" in services and electric two-wheelers manufactured by Ola Electric. The company said that out of 10,644 complaints received from the CCPA, it has resolved 99.1 per cent of the complaints.
However, in January this year, CCPA sought additional documents and information from the company regarding the complaints.
The company had reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 870 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025, while its revenue from operations declined to Rs 611 crore from Rs 1,598 crore in the year-ago period.
For FY25, the company reported a net loss of Rs 2,276 crore compared with Rs 1,584 crore in the 2023-24 fiscal. Revenue from operations declined to Rs 4,514 crore against Rs 5,010 crore in FY24.

Govt to soon introduce rule requiring silent EVs to have vehicle alerting system
New Delhi: In a move to alert pedestrians about approaching electric two and three wheelers, and e-rickshaws, which hardly emit any noise, govt will soon introduce a new regulation requiring manufacturers to have an electronic system that automatically creates sound when these vehicles are moving at speeds of up to 20 kmph. The transport ministry has published a draft automobile industry standard (AIS) for Quiet Road Transport Vehicles (QRTV) requiring fitment of Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS). This safety feature primarily is designed for electric and hybrid vehicles emitting artificial sounds to alert pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users about the presence of the vehicle, especially at low speeds where these vehicles are very quiet. When EVs run at higher speed, their tyres generate noise. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi Sources said the need for such an alert was felt soon after the introduction of EVs in the country, especially after reports of road accidents involving these vehicles as pedestrians could not spot them early. The AVAS is mandated in electric and hybrid vehicles across several countries, including the European Union, United States, and Japan. While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the US has made this system mandatory for all new EVs sold since September 2020, Europe implemented this regulation in July 2019. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "Since there is a significant increase in EV penetration, particularly in two and three wheelers, and e-rickshaws, now there is a need to bring this regulation. The matter has been discussed at meetings of the CMVR-TSC, country's apex automotive standard making entity," said a senior official. As per the draft AIS, there may be a mechanism to enable the driver to halt the operation of the AVAS in case of a need. Sources said the standard will be notified soon after completing the consultation process. They added that since this is linked to safety of other road users, govt would have to make this mandatory. "We are carrying out a study on the need of AVAS in electric two-wheelers," said Anoop Chawla, professor of mechanical engineering department at IIT-Delhi. Apex automobile industry body, SIAM had approached IIT-Delhi for the study.
