Ola Electric has made its in-house developed 4680 Bharat Cell and battery pack platform available to third parties, spanning households to enterprises across energy, healthcare, defence, and robotics.

“The 4680 Bharat Cell has been researched in India, engineered in India, and manufactured at scale in India at our Gigafactory,”  Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal said on X. He emphasised that it is India's only facility that not only manufactures cells but also develops its own cell technology from start to finish. 

“We are now opening this platform up. Not just to large enterprises, but also to startups, innovators, and builders who want to create advanced products on a strong and reliable energy foundation,” he said.
