Ola’s Indigenous Lithium-Ion Battery Ready, To Boost Market Share: CEO Bhavish Aggarwal

Ola Electric has begun integrating its in-house developed 4,680 Bharat Cell into its vehicles, with founder and Chief Executive Bhavish Aggarwal saying the move will strengthen the company’s margins and market position. The company claims that this is India’s first indigenously developed lithium-ion cell. The company formally announced the 4680 Bharat Cell at its annual ‘Sankalp’ event under the theme ‘India Inside.’ It described the battery as India’s first indigenously developed lithium-ion cell, produced at Ola’s Krishnagiri factory. Ola said the new technology would allow faster recharge, improved safety, and lower costs to produce.
