Ola Electric Mobility: SoftBank reduces stake in the EV stock, Check the current holding

Synopsis: Ola Electric Mobility Ltd is in the spotlight as SoftBank trims its stake to 13.53% amid broader investor sell-offs, regulatory scrutiny, rising competition in the electric two-wheeler market, and service network disruptions.

The shares of the Small-Cap company specialising in designing, engineering, and manufacturing electric vehicles (EVs), particularly electric scooters and bikes, are in focus after SoftBank reduced its stake in the company to 13.53 percent by selling shares over recent months.

With a market capitalization of Rs. 17,268.40 Crores on Monday, the shares of Ola Electric Mobility Ltd rose upto 2.6 percent, reaching a high of Rs. 40.54 compared to its previous close of Rs. 39.49. 

What Happened

Ola Electric Mobility Ltd, engaged in designing, engineering, and manufacturing electric vehicles (EVs), particularly electric scooters and bikes, has recently been in the spotlight as SoftBank Group, led by Masayoshi Son, reduced its stake in the company from 15.68 percent to 13.53 percent over the past four months, according to a stock exchange filing.

SoftBank Group, the Japanese investment giant and the second‑largest shareholder in Ola Electric after founder Bhavish Aggarwal, has further reduced its stake in the Bengaluru‑based electric two‑wheeler maker. 

According to a stock market filing, SoftBank sold around 94.6 million shares via a series of open market transactions conducted between September 3, 2025 and January 5, 2026, this year. 

The latest round of stake sales comes after a similar divestment last year, when SoftBank sold approximately 94.9 million shares between July 15 and September 2, bringing its holding down from 17.83 percent to 15.68 percent.

The ongoing sell-off occurs alongside broader stake reductions by long-term investors, as Ola Electric faces regulatory scrutiny, rising competition in the electric two-wheeler sector, and disruptions in its service network.

Global and Strategic Investors Trim Stakes

Along with it, several global investors have reduced their exposure. Tiger Global Management and Alpha Wave Ventures, which held 3.24 percent and 2.83 percent, respectively, as of June last year, now maintain residual stakes of less than 1 percent each, according to September quarter shareholding disclosures.

Strategic investors Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation also pared down their holdings in June 2025, selling approximately 108.8 million and 27 million shares, earning Rs. 552 crore and Rs. 137 crore, respectively.

The company’s revenue declined by 43.16 percent from Rs. 1,214 crore in September 2024 to Rs. 690 crore in September 2025. Meanwhile, the Net loss declined from  Rs. 495 crore to  Rs. 418 crore during the same period.

Operationally, Ola Electric has lost significant ground over the past year. According to Vahan data, its market share in the electric two‑wheeler segment dropped sharply to 16.1 percent in 2025, down from 36.7 percent in 2024, as rivals such as TVS Motor Company, Bajaj Auto, Ather Energy and Hero MotoCorp expanded their presence and captured a larger share of the market.

Ola Electric Mobility Limited is an Indian electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer founded in 2017 by Bhavish Aggarwal, who also serves as its CEO.
