Ather Energy reached a significant milestone, surpassing the 500,000th EV production mark, and has decided to establish a new smart plant in Maharashtra with an annual output of 1.42 million units.
Ather Energy, one of the top choices among Indian manufacturers of electric scooters, has achieved a significant milestone by producing its 500,000th electric scooter at the Hosur plant in Tamil Nadu.

Ather is also planning the construction of its latest plant in Maharashtra, to ensure that demand for its new models is met and the company can maintain its top position in the scooter market.
Production Milestone Achieved
Of Ather’s half-a-millionth model, the Ather Rizta, was the central product in the company’s success. This occasion is part of the Ather company’s journey to produce products that are unlimitedly scalable and of the highest quality. Furthermore, Ather’s manufacturing segment comprises two facilities situated in Hosur, one of them for battery production and another one for vehicle assembly, with a combined annual production capability of 4.2 lakh scooters.
New Plant Details
The construction of the new plant is underway, and the new facility will have the capacity of an annual output of 10 lakh vehicles per Annum. The most advanced technology will be used for the construction of this new plant, and at the same time, it’s going to be both eco-friendly and fulfil all environmental requirements. The new 4.0 Industrial facility is using construction and automation technologies to bring the best quality output.
Capacity To Grow
After the complete operation of the new Maharashtra plant, Ather hits a milestone in terms of production capability. The company’s total capacity will go up to 1.42 million two-wheelers a year across all facilities at once. This necessary doubling of the capacity will facilitate promptly increasing demand in the Indian electric two-wheeler market and thus achieve higher national sales targets.
Sales Surge Driven
The most noticeable increase in sales is the one happening recently. The rapid growth in sales is helping companies achieve their goals, among other things. Over the years, companies have seen a surge in sales. Many emerging sectors of the market have benefited from the rise in sales, including a new production of electric cars, with Ather already leading in the electric three-wheeler segment.
Market Share Holds
Even though the competition is fierce, Ather still maintains a dominant position in the electric two-wheeler market. By September 2025, the business is controlling the market with a remarkable 17% share that places it as the third-largest maker of electric two-wheelers in India. In addition to ramping up production, Ather has been establishing its presence on the retail front as well, increasing the number of sales points by 101 from June to August 2025, with the expansion mainly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
Future Platform Underway
Ather is preparing to expand its capacity and is therefore working aggressively on the development of its next-generation EL platform. This very platform will give birth to many other models and will be integrated into the manufacturing process at the new Maharashtra plant. This inclination towards a modular, future-ready platform is proof that the company has no concerns about changes in consumer desires and will maintain its technological advantage.
