On India’s 80th Independence Day, Ola Electric announced a major expansion into energy storage with its new Ola Shakti portfolio. Built on indigenous LFP cell technology and a vertically integrated cell-to-system architecture, the lineup stores clean energy when available and deploys it on demand across residential, commercial, and utility sectors.

Residential, Business, and Utility Rollout
Residential users can jump in with the Shakti Gen2, which starts at ₹99,999 for the 4.6 kWh variant and ₹1,74,999 for the 9.2 kWh version. Pre-orders are open for ₹999 on the Ola Electric site and retail network, with deliveries kicking off in November 2026.
Commercial options like the Shakti AC Rack and Shakti DC Rack drop in March 2027. Industrial and grid solutions—including the Mahashakti Rack and the scaleable Mahashakti container platform—are also set for March 2027 release, with reservations available now.
Local Gigafactory Power and Market Reach
Every storage unit runs on LFP cells produced at Ola’s Krishnagiri Gigafactory—India’s only operating Gigafactory. Chairman and Managing Director Bhavish Aggarwal noted that extending their battery innovation beyond electric mobility leverages this cell-to-pack vertical architecture and nationwide footprint to deliver cost-effective storage without extra capital intensity, while improving safety, supply-chain security, and total cost of ownership.
With Central Electricity Authority and industry estimates pointing to hundreds of GWh in storage needs by the early 2030s to hit India’s 500 GW non-fossil fuel target, Ola Electric has inked an MoU with Axis Energy. The partnership envisions deploying up to 20 GWh of battery energy storage systems by 2032 under the Mahashakti banner.
Detailed performance statistics, full commercial pricing, warranty terms, and further technical specifications will be shared by the company in due course.
