Ola Electric has unveiled an expanded Shakti energy storage portfolio aimed at enabling energy to be stored when available and deployed when needed, from powering homes during outages to supporting renewable energy at grid scale. Announced on India’s 80th Independence Day, the portfolio is built around indigenous lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology and Ola Electric’s vertically integrated cell-to-system capabilities. Ola Shakti comprises three solutions designed for different applications: Shakti Gen2 for home energy storage, Shakti Rack for commercial and infrastructure requirements, and Mahashakti for industrial and utility-scale applications. Ola Electric Chairman and Managing Director Bhavish Aggarwal said the company’s battery and cell technology could serve applications beyond electric mobility. He said the new portfolio would extend energy storage capabilities from individual homes to the wider electricity grid, supporting more efficient use of clean energy. The initiative leverages Ola Electric’s Gigafactory, indigenous LFP cells and nationwide network to develop what the company describes as reliable and affordable energy storage solutions. The expansion marks a strategic move by Ola Electric to broaden its focus beyond electric vehicles and tap into India’s growing demand for energy storage as renewable power generation expands.
