On August 15, 2026, Ola Electric unveiled its ambitious Shakti energy storage portfolio, marking a decisive step beyond electric mobility into the broader energy ecosystem. The launch coincided with India’s Independence Day, symbolically aligning the initiative with the nation’s aspiration for energy independence.

Residential Empowerment – Shakti Gen2

The Shakti Gen2 units are designed for households, offering compact yet powerful backup solutions. With variants of 3 kW / 4.6 kWh / 6 kW and 9.2 kWh… these systems promise reliable energy for essential appliances during outages.

Affordable pricing (₹99,000–₹1.75 lakh) and deliveries beginning November 2026 make them accessible to middle-class families, positioning Ola as a household energy brand.

Commercial Reliability – Shakti Rack

For businesses, Ola introduced the Shakti Rack in both AC and DC configurations. The AC Rack, with 73 kWh capacity and 18–50 kW inverter output, is tailored for peak-shaving and backup in commercial establishments. Meanwhile, the DC Rack offers 38–77 kWh modular units, ideal for industries running DC-powered systems. Both are slated for release in March 2027, signaling Ola’s intent to capture the commercial energy storage market.

Utility-Scale Transformation – Mahashakti

At the utility level, Ola launched Mahashakti, a formidable energy storage solution. The Mahashakti Rack delivers 257 kWh capacity with 125 kW power, while the Mahashakti Container scales up to 6.26 MWh and 2.5 MW output, capable of stabilizing grids and powering data centers. Ola’s partnership with Axis Energy to deploy up to 20 GWh by 2032 underscores its long-term vision of reshaping India’s energy infrastructure.

Technology Backbone – Bharat Cells

All Shakti units are powered by Ola’s indigenous 4680 Bharat Cells using LFP chemistry, ensuring safety, longevity, and cost efficiency. This technological foundation not only strengthens Ola’s EV ecosystem but also integrates seamlessly into stationary energy storage, creating a unified battery economy.

Strategic Impact

With five distinct variants across residential, commercial, and utility categories, Ola Shakti represents a holistic approach to energy storage. It bridges the gap between household resilience, business continuity, and national grid stability.

More importantly, it positions Ola Electric as a pioneer in India’s clean energy transition, moving from mobility to a comprehensive energy solutions provider.
