Ola Electric—Auditors flagged a second suspected employee fraud at Ola Electric's operating subsidiary, exceeding ₹1 crore
In its FY26 annual report (disclosed around June 2026, filed to the central government via e-form ADT-4 on June 4, 2026), auditor BSR & Co. LLP flagged a second suspected employee fraud at Ola Electric Technologies Pvt Ltd (OET), the company's wholly owned operating subsidiary, involving an amount exceeding ₹1 crore (~$120,000). A first suspected fraud at the same subsidiary had been disclosed in the FY25 annual report (filed July 2025). The company did not disclose the employees' names or the precise nature of either fraud. The disclosure came alongside separate auditor findings of inventory-verification gaps (₹153 crore unverified in FY26) and a qualified audit opinion.
