Ola Electric to Cut 5% Workforce Amid Structural Changes

New Delhi: Ola Electric announced on Friday that it will lay off nearly 5 percent of its employees as part of ongoing structural changes within the company.

In a statement, the electric two-wheeler maker said it is increasing automation in its front-end operations with a focus on speed and discipline.

The company added that these structural changes aim to create a leaner organisation to deliver a better customer experience and support long-term, profitable growth.

Ola Electric is concentrating on stabilising its business by building on early gains achieved through hyperservice and service-based execution, which has resulted in resolving over 80 percent of service requests on the same day across India.

The layoffs come amid significant shifts in India’s electric two-wheeler market in 2025. Ola Electric’s market share dropped sharply from 36.7 percent in 2024 to 16.1 percent in 2025, while traditional auto companies strengthened their position.

This steep decline highlighted the challenges faced by Ola Electric throughout the year, including operational issues such as delays in service and irregular deliveries that led to customer complaints.

For the second quarter of the current financial year, the company reported a consolidated net loss of ₹418 crore. Revenue from operations also decreased by nearly 43 percent quarter-on-quarter, falling to ₹690 crore.
