Ola Electric Set for Q1 Rebound as Registrations Cross Q4 Levels
Ola Electric is set to nearly double its quarterly volumes in the June quarter, as registrations in the first quarter of FY27 have already exceeded the total registrations for Q4 FY26 on the VAHAN vehicle registration portal, indicating a significant recovery in demand following a sluggish March quarter.
As per VAHAN data, Ola Electric has achieved approximately 22,600 registrations in Q1 FY27, surpassing the 22,221 units registered in Q4 FY26, with nearly 40 days left in the quarter.
The recovery comes after the company had previously characterized a low-volume quarter featuring an operational reset and efforts to stabilize services.
