Ola Electric posted a consolidated net loss of ₹495 crore for the quarter ending September, down from ₹524 crore in the year-ago period.

As the company announced its quarterly results after the market closed on Friday, November 8, the shares of the company remained in the red. The stock ended 2.5% lower on Friday at ₹72.67 on the NSE.

The Bengaluru-based two-wheeler EV manufacturer recorded a consolidated revenue of ₹1,214 crore, noting a 38.5% year-on-year (YoY) rise from ₹873 crore in the same quarter last year. The narrowed losses and increased revenue are aided by increased sales and lower raw material costs, the company said.

Ola Electric’s Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) stood at a loss of ₹379 crore for the quarter, improving from the previous year’s figure of ₹435 crore. Its gross margin for the quarter stood at 20.3%, as per a press release by the company.
