Ola Electric has unveiled a new energy storage portfolio covering residential, commercial, industrial and utility-scale applications as the company expands beyond electric mobility. The portfolio, built around indigenous lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology, includes the Shakti and Mahashakti product families.
The company announced the portfolio on August 17, 2026, with the products designed to store electricity for use during periods of low generation, support backup requirements and provide grid-scale energy management capabilities.
Ola Electric Expands Energy Storage Portfolio
The new portfolio is based on Ola Electric’s vertically integrated cell-to-system capabilities and is structured across three major segments: residential energy storage through Shakti Gen2, commercial and infrastructure applications through Shakti Rack, and industrial and utility-scale storage through Mahashakti.
The company said its energy storage architecture is intended to cover applications ranging from household backup and solar integration to commercial energy management and large-scale renewable energy storage.
Ola Electric Managing Director and Chairman Bhavish Aggarwal said the company’s battery and cell technology is being extended beyond electric mobility into energy storage applications. The company plans to use its indigenous LFP cells and nationwide network to develop energy storage solutions across different scales.
Shakti Gen2 Targets Residential Energy Storage
Shakti Gen2 is positioned as the entry-level residential energy storage product in the new portfolio. It combines battery backup with energy management and solar storage capabilities.
The product will be available in two configurations. The 4.6 kWh model is rated at 3 kW and is priced at ₹99,999, while the 9.2 kWh version is rated at 6 kW and carries a price of ₹1.74 lakh.
Both models can be reserved for ₹999, with deliveries scheduled to begin in November 2026.
According to Ola Electric, the residential system can provide whole-home backup, energy monitoring through the Ola Shakti application and solar energy storage through an integrated MPPT-based setup.
Shakti Rack Extends Storage to Commercial Applications
For commercial users, Ola Electric has introduced the Shakti AC Rack and Shakti DC Rack.
The Shakti AC Rack has a capacity of 73 kWh and uses an 18–50 kW inverter with a 415 V three-phase AC integrated inverter configuration. It is designed for facility backup, peak shaving, energy optimisation and modular capacity expansion.
The Shakti DC Rack offers 38–77 kWh per rack and operates at 48 V DC. It uses LFP battery technology with an air-cooled design and is targeted at telecom and other DC infrastructure applications requiring direct DC power, critical backup and scalable storage capacity.
Both Shakti Rack products are scheduled to become available from March 2027.
Mahashakti Targets Industrial and Utility-Scale Storage
The Mahashakti portfolio is designed for larger commercial, industrial and utility-scale applications.
The Mahashakti Rack has a 257 kWh capacity and a 125 kW power rating. It includes an integrated PCS and operates on a 415 V three-phase AC system with liquid cooling. Its intended applications include manufacturing facilities, commercial buildings, warehouses, retail operations and digital infrastructure.
For utility-scale projects, Ola Electric has introduced a 6.26 MWh Mahashakti container with 2.5 MW and 1331.2 V DC specifications. The system uses a liquid-cooled configuration and can be configured for two- to four-hour energy storage durations.
The utility-scale system is intended for renewable energy management, peak shifting, energy arbitrage and grid support. Ola Electric said the architecture can scale from individual containers to GWh-scale energy storage plants.
Ola Electric Plans to Target India’s Growing Storage Market
The company said India’s energy transition is expected to create increased demand for battery energy storage systems as renewable power generation expands.
Ola Electric also highlighted its existing battery manufacturing capabilities, including the Krishnagiri Gigafactory and indigenous LFP cell technology. The company said the integration of cells, battery systems and other components is intended to support a vertically integrated energy storage offering.
The company has also signed an MoU with Axis Energy for potential deployment of up to 20 GWh of battery energy storage systems by 2032 under the Mahashakti platform. The proposed deployment is part of Ola Electric’s plans to expand domestic applications for its battery storage technology.
Availability and Rollout Timeline
Reservations for Shakti Gen2 have opened at ₹999 through Ola Electric’s website and retail network, with deliveries expected from November 2026.
The Shakti AC Rack and Shakti DC Rack are scheduled for availability from March 2027. Mahashakti Rack and the Mahashakti utility-scale system are also scheduled for March 2027, with reservations available.
Ola Electric said additional technical specifications, commercial and utility product pricing, performance data, warranty terms and partnership updates will be provided separately.
The launch marks Ola Electric’s expansion into battery energy storage beyond electric vehicles, with the company targeting applications spanning household backup, solar integration, commercial energy management, industrial storage and grid-scale renewable energy infrastructure.
