Ola Electric Mobility Limited has found itself at the center of controversy following allegations from LG Energy Solution related to a supposed technology leak. On November 9, 2025, the company issued a statement to the National Stock Exchange and BSE, clarifying that claims about a former LG employee attempting to transfer pouch cell technology to Ola are unfounded. The company emphasized that its innovative 4680 Bharat Cell is built on advanced dry electrode technology in a cylindrical form factor, which is not only distinct from pouch cells but also represents a significant leap in battery technology. This clarification comes as Ola's Bharat Cell has just entered commercial production, marking a milestone in India’s battery manufacturing landscape.

In its defense, Ola Electric pointed out that the timing of the allegations coincides with its growing success in the market, suggesting that the claims may be an attempt by foreign rivals to undermine its progress. The company highlighted its commitment to research and development, boasting 720 patent filings, with 124 already granted. Ola's Battery Innovation Centre in Bengaluru employs over 250 specialists from leading global firms, and it has established India's first operational Gigafactory with an investment of ₹2,500 crore. This infrastructure positions Ola Electric as a serious competitor in the burgeoning Indian battery market.

Ola Electric reaffirmed its dedication to innovation and intellectual property, attributing its advancements to the supportive ecosystem fostered by the Indian government. As the company looks to expand its production of the 4680 Bharat Cell, it aims to solidify India's position as a global player in clean energy technology. The company cautioned against allowing motivated media speculation and rivalries to distract from India's technological ambitions, asserting its resolve to continue leading the charge in battery innovation amidst competitive pressures.
