Ola Electric just hit another major milestone in India’s EV revolution. The company has officially received ARAI certification for its indigenously developed 4680 Bharat Cell battery pack, marking a big leap toward self-reliant, high-performance electric mobility.
What’s New
Ola Electric’s 5.2 kWh battery pack built with its own 4680 Bharat Cells has been certified under the latest AIS-156 Amendment 4 standards by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
This makes Ola India’s first EV company to achieve certification for a completely in-house developed battery pack — a huge step in localizing advanced EV technology.
Powering the Next-Gen Ola Scooters
The certified 4680 Bharat Cell battery will first appear in the Ola S1 Pro+ (5.2 kWh), becoming the company’s first vehicle powered entirely by homegrown cell technology.
According to Ola, customers can soon expect enhanced range, performance, and reliability — all thanks to these new batteries made in India.
Why This Matters
Until now, Ola’s scooters and motorcycles used third-party battery cells sourced globally. With this shift to in-house battery tech, Ola is moving toward full vertical integration — meaning more control over design, manufacturing, and supply chain.
This will likely:
- Boost vehicle range and efficiency
- Lower production costs
- Reduce dependence on imports
- Strengthen India’s EV manufacturing ecosystem
Tested for Safety and Durability
The certification process involved rigorous testing under extreme conditions — from water immersion and vibration to thermal shock resistance — ensuring the new battery packs meet top global safety and performance standards.
A Step Toward India’s EV Future
This certification is more than a technical win — it’s a clear signal that India’s EV sector is rapidly maturing. With its upcoming Gigafactory and Battery Innovation Centre (BIC) in Bengaluru, Ola Electric is setting the stage to make India a global leader in electric mobility.
🏁 Key Takeaway
Ola Electric’s ARAI-certified 4680 Bharat Cell battery represents a major breakthrough in Made-in-India EV technology, pushing the country closer to self-reliance in clean energy transportation.
