Ola Electric share price gains after 2 straight sessions. Here’s why

Ola Electric Mobility shares saw a slight rebound on Thursday, rising by 1.41% to Rs 75.45, after two consecutive sessions of losses. The stock briefly surpassed its IPO price of Rs 76, but it remains volatile, with concerns over ongoing consumer complaints.

Despite today’s gain, the stock is down more than 52% from its all-time high of Rs 157.53.

The uptick in the stock price is attributed to Ola Electric’s recent inclusion in the MSCI Small Cap Index, which could boost its trading volume and liquidity. Additionally, the company is set to report its Q2FY25 results tomorrow, which may also be influencing investor sentiment.
