  "account": "Ola Electric has announced the launch of its comprehensive energy storage portfolio, dubbed Shakti, on India's 80th Independence Day. This new lineup of products aims to store energy during times of abundance and release it when necessary, from powering homes during blackouts to managing renewable energy at the grid level.\n\nThe Shakti portfolio is built around Ola Electric's homegrown lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology and the company's vertically integrated cell-to-system capabilities. This approach creates a unified architecture across three distinct markets: residential energy with Shakti Gen2, commercial and infrastructure energy with Shakti Rack, and industrial and utility-scale energy with Mahashakti.\n\nBhavish Aggarwal, Chairman and Managing Director of Ola Electric, highlighted that Shakti extends their innovative battery and cell technology beyond electric mobility, offering solutions for energy storage at every scale. \"From the home to the grid, Shakti helps India store and use clean energy intelligently,\" he stated.\n\nShakti Gen2 is the entry-level offering for residential customers. It combines battery backup, intelligent energy management, and solar storage in a single system. The 4.6 kWh model will be available for Rs 99,999, while the 9.2 kWh model will cost Rs 1,74,999. Pre-reservations for these models are open for Rs 999, with deliveries expected to commence in November 2026.\n\nFor businesses, Ola Electric extends the Shakti architecture through Shakti AC Rack and Shakti DC Rack. These offerings adapt the same storage system for commercial applications. The AC Rack integrates the battery and inverter into a single unit, while the DC Rack connects directly with compatible DC infrastructure. Both are modular and scheduled for release in March 2027.\n\nAt the pinnacle of the Shakti portfolio is Mahashakti, designed for industrial and grid-scale energy storage. The Mahashakti Rack is tailored for large commercial and industrial loads, while the 6.26 MWh Mahashakti container is specifically engineered for utility-scale projects.",
