Bhavish Aggarwal-led Ola Electric's debut at Dalal Street has been nothing short of magical. The company that started trading at Rs 76 per share has rocketed, almost doubling its shares in a matter of 10 days.

The honeymoon period appears to have taken a minor halt, at least for now. The company shares dipped consequentially on Tuesday, August 20. The decline even went past the 5 per cent mark.
