Ola Electric has initiated a strategic expansion into the battery energy storage systems (BESS) market. The company first announced a memorandum of understanding with Axis Energy to explore deploying up to 20 GWh of storage by 2032, primarily through its forthcoming Mahashakti platform intended to support renewable integration and grid reliability in India.

Following the planned launch of the Mahashakti platform, Ola Electric expanded its Shakti portfolio to include residential, commercial, industrial, and utility-scale applications. Utilizing indigenous lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology, the company introduced Shakti Gen2 for residential use, alongside Shakti AC and DC Rack systems for telecom and critical infrastructure. The expansion aims to leverage the company’s Gigafactory and nationwide network to provide energy storage solutions ranging from individual homes to the power grid.
