India’s energy landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. As electric mobility gains traction, the next frontier is energy storage — and Ola Electric is stepping up with a bold new offering: Ola Shakti, a residential Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) designed to bring clean, reliable power to homes, farms, defence and small businesses.

What Is Ola Shakti?

Ola Shakti is a portable, modular battery energy storage system launched by Ola Electric in October 2025. It’s built using Ola’s in-house 4680 Bharat Cells, the same advanced lithium-ion technology powering their electric vehicles. With Ola Shakti, the company is entering India’s ₹1 lakh crore residential energy storage market.

Key Features:

• Modular Configurations: Available in multiple sizes to suit different energy needs.
• Fast Charging: Charges in as little as 2 hours.
• Appliance Support: Powers ACs, refrigerators, induction cookers, farm pumps, and communication equipment.
• Backup Capacity: Up to 1.5 hours of full-load backup.
• Zero Maintenance: Designed for hassle-free operation.
• Made in India: Fully engineered and manufactured domestically.

Who Needs Ola Shakti?

Ola Shakti is ideal for:

• Urban households facing frequent power cuts or looking to reduce grid dependency.
• Rural homes and farms needing reliable backup for water pumps and essential appliances.
• Small businesses that require uninterrupted power for operations.
• Eco-conscious consumers seeking sustainable energy solutions.
• EV owners who want to integrate home energy storage with their mobility needs.
• Defence

How Does Ola Shakti Work?

Ola Shakti acts as a last-mile grid-complementing solution. It stores electricity when grid power is available and supplies it during outages or peak demand. This helps reduce electricity bills, improve energy reliability, and support India’s transition to renewable energy.

Key Applications of Power Backup in Defence

1. Command and Control Centers

2. Military Drones and Autonomous Systems

4. Field Hospitals and Medical Units

5. Soldier Camps and Tactical Bases

6. Cybersecurity and Data Centers

Why Ola Shakti Stands Out

• Gigafactory Advantage: Ola is repurposing its EV battery production lines to scale BESS without extra CapEx .
• Affordability: Introductory pricing starts at ₹29,999, making it accessible to middle-class households.
• Visionary Integration: Ola Electric’s move signals a broader shift from mobility to energy — a full-stack clean tech strategy.
• App based  – serves as a central hub for managing energy consumption, optimizing backup usage, and integrating with rooftop solar setups

Ola Shakti isn’t just a product — it’s a signal that India’s energy future is decentralized, clean, and consumer-driven.

Whether you’re a homeowner, farmer, or entrepreneur, this could be the power shift you’ve been waiting for.
