Ola Electric has announced the readiness of its in-house developed Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery cell, marking a significant step in the company’s efforts to accelerate electric mobility in India.
The development is part of Ola’s vertically integrated battery innovation strategy aimed at building a complete energy ecosystem for electric vehicles and energy storage solutions.
The newly developed 46100 format LFP cell is larger than the company’s existing NMC 4680 Bharat Cell. This advancement is expected to deliver improved scale, better cost efficiency and wider applicability across electric mobility and energy storage applications. The company stated that the new LFP cells will begin entering Ola’s products starting next quarter.
The introduction of the LFP cell highlights Ola Electric’s continued focus on developing advanced battery technologies in-house. LFP chemistry is widely known for its safety, durability and cost advantages compared to some other battery chemistries used in electric vehicles.
By adopting this technology, Ola Electric aims to reduce the overall cost of electric vehicles while maintaining strong performance and reliability. The larger cell format is also expected to improve manufacturing efficiency and support higher production volumes.
The announcement also comes at a time when Ola Electric’s Gigafactory expansion is progressing steadily. The facility currently has a production capacity of 2.5 GWh and is being scaled up to 6 GWh to support the company’s growing manufacturing ambitions.
Ola Electric has already deployed thousands of vehicles powered by its 4680 Bharat Cells on Indian roads. These vehicles have collectively clocked millions of kilometres in real-world driving conditions, demonstrating the reliability and performance of the company’s indigenous battery technology.
The introduction of LFP chemistry is expected to further support the adoption of electric vehicles by making them more affordable and accessible to a larger group of consumers. Lower battery costs can significantly reduce the overall price of EVs, which remains a key factor influencing adoption.
Ola Electric has also been focusing on several customer-centric initiatives aimed at encouraging EV adoption. These include affordability programs, service guarantees, buyback assurances and passing on government incentives such as Production Linked Incentive benefits directly to customers.
Ola Electric Spokesperson said, “The readiness of our LFP 46100 cell is a pivotal moment in our journey to build India’s most advanced EV and energy ecosystem. Along with the strong progress at our Gigafactory and proven performance of our 4680 cells on the road, this milestone reflects our deep commitment to innovation, scale, and self-reliance. LFP technology will play a critical role in driving affordability, enabling energy storage solutions, and accelerating the transition to electric mobility as we move closer to realizing the vision of End ICE Age.”
On April 8, 2026, Ola Electric share price opened at ₹30.00. At 11:06 AM, the share price of Ola Electric was trading at ₹31.02, up by 7.60% on the NSE.
