Bengaluru-based electric vehicle manufacturer Ola Electric aims to sell 325,000 to 375,000 units, which will translate to revenue of INR 42 billion to INR 47 billion in FY2026. It anticipates its auto business will achieve full-year EBITDA positive status, with gross margins expected to rise to 35-40 percent starting in the second quarter, buoyed by Production Linked Incentive (PLI) benefits.

The optimistic outlook follows a strong performance in Q1 of FY2026, where the company saw significant sequential growth and a key profitability milestone. It sold 68,192 two-wheelers, up 32.7 percent compared to 51,375 units sold in Q4 FY2025. The revenue came at INR 8.28 billion, up 35.5 percent over the previous quarter. Ola Electric claims its auto business achieved EBITDA positive status in June 2025, a significant turnaround from previous quarters. The auto segment's Q1 EBITDA improved sharply to -11.6 percent from -90.6 percent in Q4 FY25. Consolidated EBITDA also saw a substantial recovery to -28.6 percent.

Ola Electric's ‘Project Lakshya,’ a cost optimisation initiative, has driven considerable operational efficiencies. Monthly auto operational expenses have been reduced from INR 1.78 billion to INR 1.05 billion, with a target to further lower consolidated operational expenses to approximately INR 1.30 billion per month through FY26. This focus on efficiency has contributed to a notable improvement in free cash flow, which improved to negative INR 1.07 billion in Q1 from negative INR 4.55 billion in Q4 FY2025.

Product innovation continues to be a key driver, with the newly introduced Gen 3 scooters accounting for 80 percent of total scooter sales in the quarter. These models the company shared have not only improved margins but also led to a significant reduction in warranty claims. The rollout of Ola Electric’s Roadster X motorcycles is also progressing, now available in 200 stores across India and slated for further scaling during the upcoming festive season. Software adoption is also on the rise, with MoveOS+ adoption surging to nearly 50 percent among new customers.

A significant technological leap for Ola Electric is the in-house production of its 4680 Bharat Cell, set to power vehicles starting this Navratri. The company plans to fully utilise its 1.4 GWh capacity by the end of FY2026 and scale it to 5 GWh by FY2027. Furthermore, the company has successfully developed Heavy Rare Earths (HRE) free Motors, scheduled for production deployment in Q3 FY2026. These vertical integration efforts aim to reduce costs, enhance performance, and improve supply chain resilience.

Ola Electric aims to further solidify its position as an industry leader, being the only major EV player currently offering ABS-equipped products (S1 Pro+). The company is also developing its in-house ABS, expected to be production-ready by January 2026, aligning with evolving safety standards.
