Ola Electric has announced the readiness of its indigenously developed 46100 Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cell, marking a significant milestone in its efforts to build a vertically integrated electric mobility ecosystem in India.
The newly developed 46100 cell, part of Ola’s advanced battery innovation program, is larger than the company’s existing 4680 Bharat Cell. The company stated that the new format delivers improved cost efficiency, scalability, and broader applicability across both electric mobility and energy storage solutions. Integration of the cell into Ola’s product lineup is expected to begin in the next quarter.
The development comes alongside steady progress at Ola Electric’s Gigafactory. The facility currently operates at a capacity of 2.5 GWh and is being scaled up to 6 GWh. According to the company, thousands of vehicles powered by its 4680 Bharat Cells are already operational on Indian roads, collectively covering millions of kilometers. This real-world validation highlights the reliability and performance of its in-house battery technology.
A company spokesperson stated that the readiness of the 46100 LFP cell represents a key step in advancing India’s electric vehicle and energy storage ecosystem. The spokesperson added that continued progress in cell technology, combined with manufacturing scale and innovation, is expected to drive affordability and enable wider adoption of electric mobility.
The introduction of LFP chemistry is expected to further reduce vehicle costs while improving safety and lifecycle performance. Ola Electric believes this will make electric vehicles more accessible to a larger consumer base and strengthen the foundation for future energy storage applications.
The company also highlighted its ongoing efforts to accelerate EV adoption through affordability initiatives, customer-centric programs, service quality improvements, and leveraging government incentives such as Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes.
Ola Electric continues to focus on building a comprehensive energy ecosystem, combining vehicle manufacturing, battery innovation, and energy solutions under its broader End ICE Age strategy.
