Ola Electric Mobility Limited today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company stated that FY26 represented a period of resetting the business fundamentals across service, product quality, gross margins, operating costs, cash discipline, sales productivity, and cell manufacturing.

The company reported a consolidated revenue from operations of ₹ 265 Cr in Q4 FY26, reaching ₹ 2,253 Cr for the full fiscal year. Ola Electric delivered 20,256 units in Q4 FY26 and 173,794 units for FY26.

Q4 FY26 Marks Operating Cash Flow Turnaround​

A key milestone reported was the achievement of operating cash flow positivity in Q4 FY26. Consolidated Cash Flow from Operations (CFO) reached ₹ 91 Cr, supported by stronger gross margins, lower operating expenses, and disciplined working capital management, alongside benefits from PLI inflows. Consolidated Free Cash Flow (FCF) improved to -₹ 131 Cr.

The Auto business segment contributed ₹ 213 Cr CFO and ₹ 173 Cr FCF in Q4 FY26. The Cell business remained focused on planned investment activities as the company ramps up the Gigafactory and prepares for the next phases of cell and storage product offerings.

Key Financial Metrics Snapshot​

The company’s product economics demonstrated significant improvement in Q4 FY26. The consolidated gross margin expanded to 38.5%, marking an increase from 34.3% in Q3 FY26 and 13.7% in Q4 FY25. Gross margin excluding PLI stood at 33.5%. Auto gross margin achieved 38.3% in Q4 FY26, up from 30.4% for FY26.

The financial performance metrics are detailed below:

Cost Structure and Efficiency Improvement​

The company reported a concerted effort to reset costs in FY26. Consolidated operating expenses, including lease rentals, saw a substantial reduction, falling from ₹ 844 Cr in Q4 FY25 to ₹ 428 Cr in Q4 FY26. Ola Electric anticipates that operating expenses will decrease further, approaching ₹ 350 Cr per quarter over the next few quarters.

The improvement in product economics is attributed to vertical integration, the maturity of the Gen 3 platform, pricing architecture, and increased downstream control. The company noted that while strong unit economics are maintained, margins are expected to moderate from Q4 levels in Q1 and Q2 FY27 due to commodity inflation and pricing investments aimed at accelerating growth.

Operational Highlights and Sales Recovery​

Significant operational improvements were reported in service quality, which was identified as a key constraint on demand throughout FY26. The Average Service Turnaround Time (TAT) reduced by 88%, dropping from approximately 9 days in October 2025 to nearly 1 day in March 2026. Parts pendency also saw a 69% reduction between October and April.

The stabilizing service network fueled a strong sales recovery. April registrations rose to 12,166 units, representing a 20% month-on-month increase, even while the broader Electric Two-Wheeler (E2W) industry declined by over 22%.

In terms of market segments, the Roadster category is emerging as the second growth engine. Ola Electric now holds a 50% market share in the electric motorcycle segment. Bikes contributed 15% of April gross orders, supported by products with certified ranges up to 500 km and capacities up to 9.1 kWh.

Gigafactory Scale-Up and Future Readiness​

The Cell business is transitioning from technology validation to manufacturing scale. The company has commercialized the 4680 Bharat Cell and advanced the Shakti and Mahashakti product lines.

The Gigafactory currently maintains a 2.5 GWh operational capacity, with the installation towards 6 GWh largely complete. Commercialization is expected to be finished by the end of the current quarter. The cell platform is being built around three demand engines: Auto and external cell sales, Shakti, and Mahashakti. The company expects its captive cell consumption to scale to 1.5 to 2 GWh by the end of FY27.

Guidance and FY27 Focus​

Ola Electric announced that the company expects Q1 FY27 orders to double compared to the previous quarter, reaching nearly 45,000 units. As volumes continue to recover, the company anticipates the Auto business segment to move toward Adjusted Operating EBITDA and free cash flow positivity throughout FY27.

The company also highlighted AI as a core operating layer, utilizing an in-house AI stack operating at production scale, managing approximately 2 lakh connected calls daily across sales, service, and operations to enhance efficiency and governance.
