What they do

Ather Energy manufactures electric scooters and operates a digital charging network across India

The company signed one hundred letters of intent for new dealerships and plans to resume expansion in November or December

A new manufacturing facility in Maharashtra will increase total monthly production capacity to about seventy-seven thousand units

Ather Energy plans to resume its dealership expansion between November and December after signing preliminary agreements for 100 new outlets.
The company previously paused adding new dealerships because monthly demand exceeded 50,000 units while production capacity was around 35,000 units.
A new manufacturing facility located in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, is scheduled to begin production in December.
The upcoming manufacturing unit requires roughly half a year to achieve its targeted output of 42,000 vehicles monthly.
Combined output from existing and new facilities will raise Ather's total monthly capacity to approximately 77,000 units by June or July.
Bookings for the new Konarc scooter exceeded expectations despite availability being restricted to six states and Union Territories to manage supply constraints.

Supply constraints across the electric two-wheeler industry have prevented manufacturers from meeting true market demand.
Geopolitical tensions and government blending policies have accelerated consumer shift toward electric mobility.
