The full read
Olectra Greentech has been pulled into a public interest litigation over the 150 acres it was allotted for its greenfield EV plant in Seetharampur, Hyderabad. The PIL, filed in the Telangana High Court, challenges the land acquisition by the state industrial corporation. Olectra says it faces no immediate financial liability and will defend itself. But the plant is central to the company's EV expansion — a delay would hit a growth story that already trades at 69x earnings. For now, there is no adverse order. The risk is real but unquantified.
