Shares of Ola Electric Mobility Ltd. surged over 8% on Friday, with the stock trading Rs 38.51 intraday after extending gains for a third consecutive trading session.
The share price of Ola Electric is on rise ever since the company announced readiness of its in-house developed lithium iron phosphate cell on Tuesday, marking a key milestone in its mission to accelerate electric mobility and build a full-stack energy ecosystem.
Developed as part of Ola's vertically integrated battery innovation efforts, the new '46100' format LFP cell is bigger than the current NMC 4680 Bharat Cell and represents a step-change in scale, cost efficiency, and applicability across both mobility and energy storage solutions, and will begin entering its products starting next quarter, the company said in a statement.
The announcement comes as Ola Electric's Gigafactory ramp continues to progress strongly, with thousands of vehicles powered by its 4680 Bharat Cells already on Indian roads, collectively clocking millions of kilometers in real-world conditions, it added.
