On, 11th June Bhavish Aggarwal tweeted a video of their newly manufactured 100% made-in-India battery cell
Here is the tweet.
The Indian EV industry is flourishing at a fast pace and is expected to grow even faster in the future. But the core component i.e. batteries are imported from China.
This import is highly expensive for India not only financially but also geopolitically.
Tomorrow if China completely cut off their exports to India the whole automobile industry will be on the backfoot. Also, the batteries aren’t fit for Indian condition
Seeing these challenges “Ola electric” the best Indian EV company took the responsibility and started building their own battery that perfectly fit for India.
This cell is just a prototype it need to be tested in multiple phases and Ola will start its mass production soon.
