Currently, Ola Electric procures battery cells for its electric scooters from South Korea-based LG Chem. Battery cells are the most expensive component in EVs, and manufacturing them can cut the cost of an electric vehicle by about 30%.

The company aims to develop its in-house capacity by 2026 and recently revealed the firm’s first indigenously manufactured Li-ion cell on Wednesday.

The company will start with an initial cell manufacturing capacity of 20GWh with 60% localization to meet its near-term needs instead of relying solely on LG Chem.

If Bhavish said something huge, most likely it's going to crash. Everyone knows his Ola scooters story. Just look at news, youtube everywhere people are complaining about it.
