Ola Electric Target Price Slashed By 40% To Rs 30 By Kotak Securities — Here's Why
- Ola Electric's target price was lowered by 40% to Rs 30 by Kotak Securities due to decreased market share and increased competition.
- Kotak Securities cited sustained losses, reduced volume projections, and growing competition from Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor in the electric scooter market as reasons for the target price slash.
- The company's market share fell to 18% in March 2025 from 38% a year earlier, and Kotak warned of a potential cash crunch if volumes are not scaled up.
- Ola Electric posted a loss of Rs 870 crore in the March quarter, more than double the year-ago period, with revenue declining 62% year-on-year, leading to a negative market sentiment.

Nifty Won't Easily Fall Below 22,000: Kotak Securities' Shrikant Chouhan
- The Indian stock markets are currently in a neutral range with no significant movement either upwards or downwards as the worst is already over, according to Shrikant Chouhan, head of equity research at Kotak Securities.
- Chouhan believes the worst is already behind us and expects the market to trend higher, potentially reaching 23,000 in the next few months.
- IT stocks may see some short-term pressure with a potential sell-off of 5-8%, but they are expected to become attractive to investors again after the dip.
- Chouhan recommends creating long positions, with 22,300 acting as major support and a breakout expected above 22,600 in the short term.
Bloomberg Quint | 17 Mar, 2025
Trade Setup For Feb. 28: Nifty 50 Faces Support At 22,500 Levels
- As long as NSE Nifty 50 holds 22,500, a pullback rally towards 22,700-22,800 is possible, an analyst said.
- 22,600 will service as a key resistance zone for short-term traders, according to Shrikant Chouhan, head of equity research at Kotak Securities Ltd.
- A fresh sell-off is likely only after a breach of 22,500 levels on the lower end. Below this level, the market could slide to 22,400-22,350 levels, said Chouhan.
- For Bank Nifty, the support levels are placed at around 47,840, as per Yedve. On the upside, 49,650 will remain a challenging barrier for the index.
