Ola Electric opens up its 4680 Bharat Cell platform to startups, businesses
The in-house manufactured cells can be used across automotive, humanoids, drones, and portable medical equipment, Ola Electric said.
Ola Electric on Wednesday said it will open up its 4680 Bharat Cell platform for startups and businesses. With this, its battery packs can be used for applications across automotive, drones, and portable medical equipment.
The announcement, made at प्रारंभ 2026, noted that “Any business or startup that is looking to innovate, looking to create the next mobility solution or the next solution which requires energy as a fundamental base can now purchase our own sets,” a company spokesperson said at the event.
Ola Electric can also work with companies to come up with customised solutions based on the requirements. “There is no problem in making it into different form factors. It is just the structure we need to change. As far as the electrode architecture, everything is normalised architecture,” the spokesperson noted.
The news comes as the EV manufacturer looks to ramp up production and use cases for its 4680 Bharat Cell. Last year, the firm expanded into Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) solutions powered by the 4680 cells.
Titled Shakti, its BESS solutions are expected to begin deliveries soon, with the 6kW/9.1kWh starting end of January and the 3kW/5.2kWh starting mid-February 2026.
Additionally, Ola Electric noted that it has begun deliveries of its Roadster X+ 9.1kWh powered by the 4680 Bharat Cell.
The EV maker has been struggling with a lower market share in the past few months, paring market share loss in December 2025 as competition tightens in the electric two-wheeler market.
