Shares of Ola Electric Mobility rose nearly 3% on Tuesday after the company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Ola Cell Technologies (OCT), has received Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification for its indigenously developed LFP 46100 cylindrical cell.


The stock was trading at Rs 43.77, up 2.94%, in afternoon trade.

According to the company, the certification under IS 16046 (Part 2):2018 / IEC 62133-2:2017 makes Ola Electric the first Indian company to secure BIS approval for an indigenously developed battery cell in the 46100 format.

The company said the LFP 46100 cell has also qualified under IS 16893 Parts 2 and 3, as well as UN 38.3 standards, confirming compliance with a range of electrical, mechanical, environmental, reliability, abuse and transportation safety requirements.

To secure the certification, the battery cell underwent extensive testing at a National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL)-accredited facility. The evaluation included thermal abuse, external short-circuit, forced discharge, impact, altitude, abnormal charging, vibration, crush, free-fall and mechanical shock tests.

Speaking on the development, an Ola Electric spokesperson said, "The BIS certification of our indigenously developed 46100 LFP Cell is a significant milestone in our mission to build India's most advanced EV and energy ecosystem. The successful certification and qualification of this cell reflects the strength of our R&D, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities, while reinforcing our commitment to developing world-class battery technologies in India. As we continue to expand our in-house cell portfolio, we are creating the technological foundation required to accelerate EV adoption, support future energy storage solutions, and strengthen India's energy independence."

The newly certified cell expands Ola Electric's in-house battery portfolio beyond its NMC 4680 Bharat Cell platform. The company said the LFP 46100 cell offers an energy density of over 170 Wh/kg and is being developed with a target of more than 4,000 charge-discharge cycles, making it suitable for both electric mobility and stationary energy storage applications.

Ola Electric added that thousands of vehicles powered by its 4680 Bharat Cells are already operating on Indian roads, collectively covering millions of kilometres. The company said this real-world deployment validates the performance and reliability of its battery technology.

The certification also strengthens the company's broader battery manufacturing ambitions through its Gigafactory, where it is developing both NMC and LFP chemistries on a common 46-series architecture to increase domestic value addition and reduce reliance on imported cell technologies.
