Ola Electric Launches Ola Shakti, Enters India’s Energy Storage Market

Ola Electric has officially stepped into a new space with the launch of Ola Shakti, its first residential Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). This move marks the company’s entry into India’s growing Rs 1 lakh crore energy storage market, which is expected to touch Rs 3 lakh crore by 2030.

This launch is a significant step for the company, as it expands its focus beyond electric two-wheelers. According to Ola Electric, the new BESS solution represents “a fundamental shift in how Indians access, control, and consume energy, as a portable, on-demand resource designed for modern Indian households, farms, and businesses.”

In the coming years, Ola Electric expects its annual BESS consumption to reach 5 GWh, showing its big ambitions in this space.

Natural Step for Ola’s Growth

Bhavish Aggarwal, CMD, Ola Electric, said, “We have built world-class battery and cell technology for electric mobility. Ola Shakti extends that innovation to homes, helping them store and use clean energy intelligently.”

Aggarwal also explained that Ola Shakti is a natural next step for the company. It uses the brand’s 4680 cell technology, Gigafactory production setup, and Ola’s nationwide network as a ready sales and distribution system. This approach will help the company scale quickly without major additional investment.
