Shares of Ola Electric Mobility fell by 6% on Tuesday after the Central Consumer Protection Authority issued a show cause notice for alleged misleading advertising and unfair trade practices.
The company's stock dropped to Rs 85.21 on the BSE, continuing a four-day losing streak, and to Rs 86 per piece on the NSE. This fall occurred despite the broader BSE Sensex rising by 407.31 points and the NSE Nifty climbing 145.35 points.
Ola Electric stated that the notice has no financial or operational impact on the company. However, reports of service quality issues and a social media feud involving its CEO and comedian Kunal Kamra have intensified scrutiny on the company.
