Ola will also have exclusive rights to manufacture batteries integrating StoreDot's fast charging technology in India, the company said.

The company, however, did not disclose financial details.

Ola plans to set up a gigafactory for manufacturing cells in the country to meet the demand for its electric two-wheelers.
