In a fresh round of stake reduction, a key global investor has pared its exposure to India’s electric mobility space through open market transactions.
SoftBank has sold 2.15% of its stake in Ola Electric Mobility through its investment arm SVF II Ostrich (DE) LLC, according to a regulatory filing.
The filing, shared by Ola Electric on BSE, stated that SVF II Ostrich (DE) LLC disposed of an aggregate 94,628,299 equity shares in a series of transactions carried out between September 3, 2025, and January 5, 2026. The sale on January 5, 2026, crossed the 2% disclosure threshold under SEBI regulations.
Following these transactions, SoftBank’s investment vehicle has reduced its holding in Ola Electric to 13.53%, down from 15.68% earlier.
This is not the first time the investor has trimmed its stake in the electric two-wheeler maker. In an earlier phase, SVF II Ostrich (DE) LLC had sold 94,943,459 equity shares between July 15, 2025, and September 2, 2025. That round of disposals had lowered its stake to 15.68% from 17.83%.
The latest sale further brings down SoftBank’s ownership in Ola Electric, continuing a gradual reduction through multiple market transactions over recent months.
Ola Electric, which is backed by several global and domestic investors, has disclosed the stake sale in line with regulatory requirements, noting that the transactions were executed via the open market.
