The ₹6,145 crore IPO was subscribed 79 times overall, with the QIB portion subscribed 113 times. The issue received bids worth ₹4.85 lakh crore against a total issue size of ₹6,145 crore.

Business Fundamentals

Ola Electric sold 5.8 lakh electric scooters in FY2026, capturing 31% of the Indian EV two-wheeler market. Revenue stood at ₹5,010 crore, up 142% year-over-year, though the company remains loss-making at the PAT level.
