Ola Electric, India's largest electric two-wheeler manufacturer, has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to list on the public stock exchanges.

The draft IPO documents specify that ₹1,226 crore of the raised funds will be allocated to expanding the capacity of Ola Electric’s cell manufacturing plant, Ola Gigafactory, from 5 GWh to 6.4 GWh.
According to the draft IPO papers, Ola Electric’s co-founder and CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal, will sell up to 47.4 million shares, representing approximately 1.3% of the company.
Major investors, including SoftBank Vision Fund, Tiger Global, Alpha Wave Global, Matrix Partners India, and Temasek, will also reduce their holdings.
The total OFS component could potentially generate around $156.7 million (over ₹1,300 crore), with Aggarwal's share sale alone possibly netting him $78 million (about ₹650 crore).
Ola Electric is targeting a valuation of $6 billion through this IPO. This move comes as the firm seeks to enhance profitability while maintaining its leadership in the electric two-wheeler market.
Amidst these developments, Ola Electric is implementing cost-cutting measures, including the layoff of over 600 employees across various divisions. As of October 2023, the company reported having 3,733 employees.
