Olectra Greentech’s Rs 10,000 Cr E-Bus Deal Collapses—What Really Went Wrong?

Shares of Olectra Greentech nosedived by 14% to hit an intraday low of ₹1,160 on Tuesday, May 27, after the Maharashtra government called off a massive Rs 10,000-crore electric bus order.

The 12-year contract, awarded in July 2023, was scrapped after the company failed to deliver even a single bus from the promised 1,000 by the May 22 deadline.

Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik, in a blunt post on social media platform X, said officials were told to cancel the tender for 5,150 electric buses due to the supplier’s inaction. While he didn’t name Olectra directly, the message was clear—and the market reacted swiftly.

Why it matters to you

This isn’t just a corporate setback. It’s a crack in India’s electric vehicle story, especially in public transport. If Olectra—one of the country’s biggest EV bus players—can’t stick to timelines, what hope do smaller firms have?

For commuters, it means longer waits for cleaner, greener public transport. For investors, it’s a loud wake-up call about execution risk, even in high-growth sectors. And for the government? Another reminder that flashy MoUs and headline-grabbing numbers don’t always translate into buses on the road.

Olectra’s silence is deafening

Despite posting strong financial results for the March quarter—58% jump in revenue and a doubling of net profit—Olectra Greentech now finds itself on the defensive. The company hasn’t yet issued a statement about the cancellation, though it’s expected to hold an analyst call on May 28 at 4:30 PM.

Even with recent gains (the stock rose 13% in the past month), 2025 has been rough. The shares are now down 9.2% for the year. Investors who thought Olectra was driving the future may be wondering if the wheels are coming off.

Promises made, buses undelivered

Under the original plan, the buses were to be procured by consortium partner Evey Trans Pvt Ltd from Olectra, then delivered to the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC).

Olectra was also tasked with maintenance over the 12-year term. But after multiple deadline extensions and no progress, the state finally hit the brakes.

And let’s face it—if a ₹10,000-crore deal can’t motivate a company to get moving, what will?

Electric dreams, grounded reality

This episode should be a warning to the broader EV ecosystem: success isn’t about press releases and promises, but delivery. Maharashtra’s bold move might seem harsh, but it sends a clear message—India’s transport transition will wait for no one.

Let’s hope the rest of the industry is listening.
