Ola Electric has published public notices (Form PAS-1) in Financial Express, Vishwavani News, and Jansatta on August 1, 2025, seeking shareholder approval to reallocate ₹1,322.64 Crores of its IPO proceeds raised in August 2024 (gross ₹5,500 Crores, net ₹5,275.06 Crores). The reallocation moves funds away from the planned cell plant capacity expansion (5GWh to 6.4GWh) at subsidiary OCT and from R&D, redirecting ₹850.64 Cr to organic growth initiatives, ₹395 Cr to debt repayment, and ₹77 Cr to general corporate purposes. The timeline for utilizing funds under the organic growth head is being extended by one year to FY 2027. A special resolution will be tabled at the 8th AGM on August 22, 2025, with a unique condition that the variation will only be implemented if approved by at least 90% of shareholders present and voting. Management cites slower-than-expected E2W market growth (7% in FY25 vs 11% assumed), increased competition from ICE OEMs entering EVs, and the view that expanding cell capacity beyond 5GWh is not optimal currently.
Short-term: The stock may face volatility as the market digests the reallocation away from the headline cell plant expansion. Medium-term: If approved, the move deleverages the balance sheet (₹395 Cr debt repayment) and boosts spend on near-term auto and cell business growth, which could support volumes and margins. Shareholders should watch the AGM vote on August 22, 2025 — if the 90% threshold is not met, the reallocation is deemed not to have happened.
