Ola Electric: Shares of the two-wheeler maker rose as much as 13.18% to hit an intraday high of ₹61.14. The stock has been witnessing buying interest in last four out of five trading sessions since August 25, data from BSE showed.

The stock came under buying interest after it secured PLI certification for Gen 3 scooters.

Ola Electric secured Production Linked Incentive (PLI) certification for its Gen 3 scooter portfolio, a move expected to boost profitability from the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

The certification, granted by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) under the Ministry of Heavy Industries, covers all seven models in Ola’s Gen 3 scooter lineup, including its flagship S1 Pro and S1 X variants.

Analysts said that value buying at lower levels after witnessing a sharp sell-off also aided the upmove in IT stocks.
