Ola Electric Share Price: Ola Electric, a big company in the Indian electric vehicle (EV) sector, is going through a difficult phase at the moment. In the last three months, the company’s shares have fallen by about 40%, wiping out the market value of about Rs 9,000 crore. The situation is such that Ola’s share has been able to rise only for 3 days in the last 14 trading sessions, whereas now it has reached very close to its all-time low of ₹ 30.79.
Investors’ fear increased due to continuous resignations
Continuous resignations within the company have also increased the pressure on the stock. In an exchange filing this week, Ola Electric informed that the company’s CFO Harish Abichandani has stepped down from the post with effect from January 19, 2026. He has given personal reasons behind this.
This resignation is also considered important because it is the second major resignation in two months. Earlier in December, the company’s Business Head Sales, Vishal Chaturvedi had also stepped down citing personal reasons. These incidents have further increased the concern of investors.
