August 22, 2025 – Ola Electric has received overwhelming shareholder support to reallocate its ₹5,500 crore IPO proceeds and extend the timeline for capital deployment. The approval marks a key milestone in the company’s strategic restructuring, ensuring better alignment with its long-term electric vehicle (EV) business goals.
Shareholders Back Fund Variation and Extension
At its 8th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on August 22, Ola Electric secured 99.09% approval for a special resolution that allows the company to:
- Reallocate IPO funds in line with evolving business requirements.
- Extend the utilisation timeline for the raised capital.
This move provides Ola Electric with the flexibility to adapt its financial strategy in response to sectoral trends and emerging opportunities in the EV ecosystem.
Original Fund Allocation and Strategic Shift
Initially, the ₹5,500 crore IPO proceeds were earmarked for:
- Scaling up EV production at the Tamil Nadu gigafactory
- Investments in advanced battery R&D
- Debt repayment

However, with the fast-changing EV landscape and growing technological demands, Ola Electric saw the need to revise its capital allocation plan. The reallocation will help the company remain agile, tap new opportunities, and support infrastructure expansion without being constrained by earlier projections.
Other Resolutions at the AGM
In addition to approving the fund reallocation, shareholders also passed several key resolutions, including:
- Adoption of audited financials for FY25
- Reappointment of director Krishnamurthy Venugopala Tenneti
- Appointment of BMP & Co LLP as secretarial auditors for the upcoming fiscal
These approvals underscore both continuity in governance and adherence to regulatory best practices as Ola Electric advances its EV roadmap.
