Ola Electric Hits the Jackpot: Stock Price Hits Upper Circuit Limit

Summary

The stock price nearly doubled since its market debut, reaching Rs 146.03 per share on the BSE and Rs 146.38 per share on the NSE. This surge follows a strong performance on its listing day and a positive recommendation from global brokerage HSBC, which had set a target price of Rs 140 per share.
