Ola Electric filed its Q4 FY2025 Monitoring Agency Report prepared by ICRA Limited, covering utilization of its Rs. 5,500 crore IPO proceeds raised in August 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the company has utilized Rs. 2,670.62 crore in total, with Rs. 2,829.38 crore still unutilized (about 52% of net proceeds). During Q4 FY2025 alone, Rs. 1,060.54 crore was deployed. The full Rs. 800 crore meant for repaying subsidiary OET's debt has been used up. Rs. 315.13 crore has been spent on R&D, Rs. 217 crore on organic growth, and Rs. 1,120.12 crore on general corporate purposes (largely raw materials). No money has yet been spent on the Rs. 1,227.64 crore earmarked for expanding the cell manufacturing plant from 5GWh to 6.4GWh. ICRA confirmed no deviation from the stated objects and all projects are on schedule.
For shareholders, this report brings mixed signals. On the positive side, there is no misuse of IPO funds and the unutilized amount is safely parked in bank fixed deposits earning around 7% interest. However, roughly half the IPO money remains undeployed nearly 8 months after listing, and the major cell plant expansion capex has not even started, which may raise concerns about the pace of growth spending and project execution timelines.
