Shares of Ola Electric Mobility Ltd surged nearly 16% on Friday after the Ola Group announced its foray into the electric motorcycle segment with the launch of three models and two more in the pipeline.

The stock jumped 15.77% to Rs 128.09 on the BSE. At the NSE, it soared 15.59% to Rs 128.20.

Ola Electric Mobility on Wednesday reported a jump in revenue from operations in the April-June quarter of FY25 at Rs 1,644 crore against Rs 1,243 crore revenue recorded in the same quarter of the previous fiscal.

The June quarter has been a “good quarter” in terms of growth and profitability, Chairman and CEO Bhavish Aggarwal said in a post-earnings call.

Meanwhile, the group has rebranded its ride-hailing service as Ola Consumer, announced a partnership with Open Network of Digital Commerce (ONDC), and launched automated warehousing solutions to cater to quick commerce requirements.

Besides, Ola said it will bring to the market the first indigenously designed and developed family of chips for AI, general computing, and Edge by 2026 under its Krutrim venture.

Speaking at Sankalp 2024—Ola’s annual launch event on Thursday—Founder Bhavish Aggarwal said currently, two-thirds of India’s two-wheeler market consists of motorcycles, and it was imperative for the company to enter the segment.

“We have already been successful in accelerating the EV adoption in the scooter segment, and with our futuristic portfolio of products, we are now focused on supercharging the EV penetration through our motorcycles,” he said.

Aggarwal also said Ola’s indigenously developed ‘Bharat 4680’ cell and battery pack will be integrated with its own vehicles starting in the first quarter of FY26. The company also showcased its all-new Gen-3 platform for two-wheelers.

“Coupled with the integration of our cells in our vehicles starting early next year, we are determined to chart a new course for mass EV adoption across India,” Aggarwal added.
