The company received BIS certification for its new LFP cylindrical cell under Indian safety standards

This approval allows Ola to integrate the cell into products starting next quarter

Ola Cell Technologies received BIS certification for its in-house LFP 46100 cylindrical cell.
It is the first Indian company to get this compliance under IS 16046 standards.
The certification covers electrical, mechanical, environmental, and transportation-safety evaluations.
Tests were conducted at a NABL-accredited facility to ensure quality and safety.
Ola unveiled the 46100 LFP cell in April 2026 as part of its vertical integration strategy.
The board approved ₹500 Cr investment in Ola Cell Technologies last month.
Another ₹1,500 Cr infusion was approved for the vehicle manufacturing arm Ola Electric Technologies.
The gigafactory installation is largely complete with commercialisation expected by end of Q1 FY27.

This marks a significant step in India's push for domestic battery manufacturing.
Reducing reliance on imported cell technologies strengthens local supply chain resilience.
Dual-chemistry platform aims to lower costs and improve lifecycle performance for EVs.

Ola Electric manufactures electric scooters including the S1 series and Roadster motorcycles.
Energy products include home backup systems like Ola Shakti and solar charge controllers.
The company operates 590 service centres and trains mechanics for EV readiness.
LFP cells target EVs and stationary energy storage where cost and durability matter.
Existing NMC 4680 Bharat Cell shares architecture with the new LFP 46100 cell.
Shares ended 2.56% higher at ₹43.63 on BSE following recent news.
Net loss narrowed 43% YoY to ₹500 Cr in Q4 FY26 despite revenue slump.
