Ola Shakti is designed to provide dependable backup power with features such as instant changeover, a wide operating voltage range to protect household appliances, and spill-proof batteries tested for Indian weather conditions. Available in two configurations priced at ₹1,49,999 for the 5.2kWh system and ₹2,49,999 for the 9.1kWh system, Ola Shakti is positioned as an alternative to conventional lead-acid inverters and diesel generators, supporting Ola Electric’s focus on clean, decentralised energy solutions.
