Investors lose about Rs 40,000 crore as Ola Electric shares hit all-time low

As shares of Bhavish Aggarwal-led Ola Electric continue to slide, investors have been impacted heavily as approximately Rs 40,000 crore has been wiped out since the company stock's peak valuation.

Once valued at Rs 66,000 crore after its initial surge post-listing, the company’s market capitalisation has now shrunk to Rs 26,187.81 crore.

The stock, which made its debut at Rs 76 per share in August last year, has been under constant selling pressure and on Tuesday, it fell over 3 per cent to touch an all-time low of Rs 58.84 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

Concerns over mounting losses, declining revenue, ongoing service-related issues and the broader correction in the Indian stock market have contributed to the stock’s downturn.

Last week, the electric two-wheeler (e2W) electric firm reported a 50 per cent spike in its consolidated net loss, which widened to Rs 564 crore in Q3 FY25 from Rs 376 crore in Q3 FY24.

MP Raghav Chadha responds to charges levelled against him by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab Raghav Chadha has replied back to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s statement, of using technical jargon to mislead the middle class and divert attention from real tax concerns. Responding to Sitharaman’s remarks, the AAP Rajya Sabha MP urged the Finance Minister to refrain from personal attacks.

AAP Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, Raghav Chadha, has strongly responded to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s remarks during the Rajya Sabha discussion on the Union Budget 2025-26. Addressing the issue through a video message, Chadha stated that the Finance Minister made sarcastic comments about his statement and accused him of misleading the House. However, he was not given an opportunity to clarify his position in the Rajya Sabha, prompting him to address the matter directly.

Clarifying his stance, Raghav Chadha said that his speech on the Union Budget raised several critical concerns, including issues faced by railway passengers, financial challenges for the middle class, duties and tariffs imposed by the Donald Trump administration, and the depreciation of the rupee. However, the Finance Minister chose to ignore these substantive points and instead focused on a single example he had given to explain the concept of an income tax rebate.
