CMVR certification for Roadster X+ electric motorcycle
Ola Electric has received CMVR certification from the International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT) for its Roadster X+ electric motorcycle, equipped with a 9.1 kWh battery pack. The model is powered by Ola Electric’s indigenously developed 4680 Bharat Cell, making it the first electric motorcycle in India to receive regulatory approval with this battery technology. The certification allows the company to officially begin customer deliveries of the Roadster X+.
ARAI approval under AIS-156 Amendment 4
In addition to CMVR approval, the Roadster X+ has also secured Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) certification under AIS-156 Amendment 4. This certification validates the battery pack’s safety and performance through comprehensive testing protocols. Vehicle-level tests were conducted to assess compliance with safety, performance, and durability requirements mandated by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH).
Localised battery innovation and claimed range
Ola Electric claims the Roadster X+ delivers a range of up to 500 km, supported by the high-energy-density 4680 Bharat Cell architecture. The certification marks a significant step in Ola Electric’s localisation strategy, reinforcing its focus on in-house battery development for two-wheeler EVs. The Roadster X+ represents a move towards reducing dependence on imported battery technologies while aligning with India’s broader EV manufacturing goals.
