New Delhi: Ola Electric Mobility Ltd on Tuesday announced a major expansion of its in-house 4680 Bharat Cell platform, extending its application beyond electric mobility into residential energy storage and business-to-business (B2B) solutions, as it seeks to position itself as an integrated energy platform company.
At its ‘Prarambh 2026’ event, the company said it will now open up direct sales of the 4680 Bharat Cell as well as a 1.5 kWh battery pack based on the cell to startups and enterprises for use across sectors such as automotive, drones, humanoids and portable medical equipment. The move marks Ola Electric’s entry into supplying domestically manufactured battery technology to external customers.
In parallel, Ola Electric announced the commercial rollout of its residential battery energy storage system (BESS), branded ‘Ola Shakti’, which is fully designed, engineered and manufactured in India using the 4680 Bharat Cell. The product is available in two configurations—3 kW/5.2 kWh priced at ₹1.49 lakh and 6 kW/9.1 kWh priced at ₹2.49 lakh—with deliveries starting from late January and mid-February 2026, respectively.
The company also said it has begun deliveries of the Roadster X+ motorcycle with a 9.1 kWh battery pack, offering a claimed range of up to 500 km on a single charge, while scaling up pan-India deliveries of the S1 Pro+ 5.2 kWh scooter. Both products are powered by the 4680 Bharat Cell, underscoring Ola’s strategy of using a common energy platform across its portfolio.
“The 4680 Bharat Cell is at the core of our in-house energy and mobility ecosystem, and we are now scaling this platform well beyond consumer vehicles and residential energy,” an Ola Electric spokesperson said, adding that the company aims to enable faster innovation and scale for Indian startups by offering a locally manufactured, standardised battery platform.
Ola Electric, which operates a vertically integrated EV and battery manufacturing setup at its Futurefactory in Tamil Nadu, said the expansion reflects its broader ambition to build a unified, India-focused energy backbone spanning mobility, storage and advanced technologies, at a time when domestic battery manufacturing is gaining policy and investor focus.
