Ola Electric plans to deploy rare earth-free motors in its vehicles from the next quarter to mitigate supply chain risks stemming from China's rare earth export cuts in response to US tariffs.
The company accelerated the development of these motors, aiming to ensure business continuity with cost savings and performance parity compared to rare earth magnets.
Despite financial challenges in the previous quarter, Ola Electric is focusing on profitability and operational improvements.
The company anticipates selling between 3.25-3.75 lakh vehicles in FY26, foreseeing improved margins with new product launches and government support.
