India’s journey toward sustainability just took a major leap forward. Ola Electric, the company that revolutionized electric scooters, has now entered the energy space with Ola Shakti — a portable battery energy storage system (BESS) designed to redefine clean energy in India.
What is Ola Shakti
Ola Shakti is Ola Electric’s new residential portable Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) aimed at home, small-business and farm backup power, the company’s first non-vehicle consumer energy product. It’s pitched as an India-designed, manufactured home power solution that uses automotive-grade battery technology to deliver on-grid and off-grid backup needs.
Capacities & key specs
Ola Shakti is being offered in multiple capacity variants, broadly reported as 1.5 kWh, 3 kWh, 5.2 kWh and 9.1 kWh. It intends to cover small portable use up to multi-appliance backup for homes and farms.
Ola launched reservations with a booking amount of ₹999, and has announced introductory pricing (for the first batch of units) approximately ₹29,999 (1.5 kWh), ₹55,999 (3 kWh), ₹1,19,999 (5.2 kWh) and ₹1,59,999 (9.1 kWh).
Why it matters
Ola Shakti signals Ola’s strategic move beyond mobility into the large home energy storage market in India (often framed as a ₹1 trillion-plus opportunity). If priced and deployed at scale, such portable BESS units can address frequent outages, provide instant backup for key appliances, and accelerate distributed clean-energy adoption in semi-urban and rural areas. The product also reflects a trend of EV and battery-makers leveraging vehicle battery know-how for residential energy solutions.
Ola Shakti represents the next phase of clean energy in India, where technology meets everyday practicality and sustainability is driven by real consumer needs.
