Orders increased from 22,522 units in Q4 FY26 to approximately 44,071 units in Q1 FY27. Auto revenue increased 72% quarter-on-quarter, while gross profit stood at approximately ₹139 crore.

“The first quarter of FY27 demonstrates the changes undertaken during the FY26 reset that are translating into measurable business outcomes. Volumes, revenue and market share strengthened during the quarter, while continued cost discipline enabled us to operate on a significantly leaner base. AI is now embedded across sales, registration, fulfilment, service and Cell R&D, improving speed, consistency and productivity as we scale without rebuilding the earlier cost structure. With a more efficient operating model, deeper own-cell integration and a strengthened balance sheet, our focus is firmly on disciplined growth, continued opex optimisation and translating higher scale into stronger operating leverage.” said an Ola Electric spokesperson.
Ola Electric completed a INR 780 crore Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) during the quarter. The issue was 56% oversubscribed. The company said the funds provide additional financial flexibility.
