Interest expenses increased sharply by 70.64%. Depreciation increased 49.18%, impacting profitability. H1 net profit remained marginally lower YoY. Opportunities Growing adoption of electric buses and public transportation electrification. Government support for clean mobility and EV infrastructure. Potential opportunities from new electric bus orders and fleet expansion. Improving production scale could support operating margins. Threats Rising borrowing costs and financing requirements. Competition in the electric mobility market. Execution delays, supply-chain constraints and working-capital pressure. Changes in government policies or EV subsidy frameworks. Investor Takeaway Olectra's operating performance remains encouraging, with improving margins and strong H1 revenue growth. However, rising interest and depreciation expenses are putting pressure on net profit. Analyst View: Fundamentally mixed but operationally encouraging. Investors should monitor order execution, operating margins, debt levels and cash-flow generation in upcoming quarters.
