At the time of writing the piece, Ola Electric shares were trading at ₹49.67 apiece on the National Stock Exchange, declining 6.65%.

After two days of rallying, Ola Electric shares slipped 7% to hit an intraday low of ₹49.50 apiece amid profit booking.

Market investors also got jittery after VAHAN data was released, which showed Ola Electric had recorded 9,522 registrations as compared to 10,248 for Arther Energy as of August 20.

Ola Electric shares of the company gained 30.5% in two sessions as investors were confident in the positive outlook. Founder Bhavish Aggarwal had shared plans for upcoming launches and growth strategy in the following quarters.

In an interview with Moneycontrol, Aggarwal said products with the 4,680 cell will reach customers by Navratri. The EV maker’s Tamil Nadu plant is in full production ahead of the launch.

Ola Electric Head of Research and Development Rajesh Mekkat said the 4680 Bharat cell comes with over 15 years of battery life, 5x the capacity of the competition and provides 80% charging within 15 minutes.

Ola Electric is also targeting a 25–30% share of India’s two-wheeler EV market, supported by vertical integration and new product launches, the CEO said in the interview.

On sourcing raw material for electrode rolls, he said China is one main source, but increasingly, Japan and Korea are also becoming key sources.

“India has an FTA with Australia, which is the largest producer of materials like lithium and manganese that go into the cell. India’s strategy must be to broaden its supply chain,” Aggarwal told Moneycontrol.

Aggarwal further said that Ola’s motorbike has had very strong reception across the country. “We are scaling it up in a phased way, not one large bang across the country. So, we launched in 200 stores and are now scaling it across the country by Navratri. We are announcing a couple of new products in the scooter, as well as a moonshot bike.”

Ola has commenced development of ferrite motor technology in the Tamil Nadu plant that would replace the use of rare earth magnets, used in the development of its products.

Last week, the company also launched a new scooter, the Ola Pro Sport scooter equipped with the Bharat Cell. Along with it, Ola had also launched the Ferrite Motor technology, an alternative to rare earth magnets, used in the development of electric vehicles.
