On Tuesday, Kotak initiated coverage on Ola Electric (OLAELEC:IN) stock with a Reduce rating and a price target of INR80.00. The analysis by the firm highlighted the company's position as the largest pure play electric vehicle (EV) two-wheeler original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in India. Kotak expressed optimism about Ola Electric's growth potential due to several factors.

The firm pointed to three main drivers that could bolster Ola Electric’s growth: the tailwinds from EV adoption, the company's strategy of launching aggressive models across various price points, and its focus on research and development (R&D) alongside vertical integration. These elements are anticipated to enhance profitability in the medium term.

Despite the positive outlook on the company's growth, Kotak has taken a cautious stance. The Reduce rating stems from concerns over potential market share losses due to increased competition in the EV space. Additionally, issues related to product quality and after-sales service were flagged as risks that could impact the company's stock value.

Kotak's coverage initiation suggests that while Ola Electric is on a promising growth trajectory, the current stock price adequately reflects its value, considering the risks involved. The price target of INR80.00 is indicative of the firm's assessment of these factors weighed against the company's growth prospects.
