India’s electric mobility revolution is being led by Ather Energy, a trailblazing organisation that has transformed the face of sustainable transportation. In India, Ather has introduced three variations of its 450 series of electric scooters. Additionally, Ather currently uses NMC battery chemistry in its electric scooters. By opening its own Lithium-ion cell production facility, Ather Energy, one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of electric scooters, is revolutionising urban mobility and charting a brave course towards independence.
Ather Energy has quickly seized this excellent opportunity to establish a cutting-edge manufacturing facility thanks to the government’s innovative initiatives, most notably this fiscal year’s remarkable exemption of import duties on necessary capital goods and machinery.
Discover the bold approach that demonstrates this company’s unrelenting commitment to revolutionising the industry through cutting-edge innovation, steadfast sustainability, and firm adherence to India’s “Aatmanirbhar” ideal. Prepare to be amazed as they set out on a mission to produce their own Lithium-ion batteries, starting a revolutionary era in the world of electric mobility right there in the heart of our beautiful country.
Tarun Mehta, co-founder and CEO of Ather Energy, talks about the difficulties and approaches in the competitive electric vehicle (EV) market in an exclusive interview. He addresses EV technological challenges while highlighting Ather’s methodical approach to research and development. Mehta praises competition in the EV market for helping to increase customer awareness and the sector’s development.
He also discusses Ather’s dedication to independence, highlighting their attempts to produce lithium-ion batteries and their domestically made aluminium structure. Mehta discusses Ather’s achievements in manufacturing, its goals for future endeavours, and its ambition of becoming a major player with $1 billion in annual sales while recognising the necessity of continuing to invest in infrastructure and innovation.
He underlines how Ather distinguishes itself by the functionality, dependability, and safety of its scooters. Mehta follows the advice of investor Sachin Bansal to stick to the company’s ideals and resilient strategy despite the trend of first-mover advantage.
Ather Energy’s two plant locations
Ather’s two cutting-edge operations centres in the sector already serve as a testament to the company’s commitment to excellence, effectiveness, and a greener future.
Hosur Plant: Ather Energy’s first manufacturing facility, located in the commercial centre of Hosur, Tamil Nadu, covers a sizable area and exemplifies the company’s commitment to size and accuracy. This factory has a great output capability and can produce a large number of electric scooters every year. The Hosur factory, which is outfitted with cutting-edge assembly lines and cutting-edge equipment, is where Ather Energy’s ground-breaking concepts come to life, go through rigorous testing, and develop into the electric marvels that have caught the market’s attention.
Hoskote Plant: The second production facility for Ather Energy is located in Hoskote, Karnataka, and this further demonstrates the firm’s dedication to growth and innovation. Given that it uses eco-friendly procedures and energy-saving techniques, this enormous plant is a testament to Ather Energy’s commitment to a sustainable future. The Hoskote plant uses cutting-edge technologies and production lines, just like its counterpart in Hosur, to guarantee that every electric scooter that leaves its premises fulfils the highest quality and performance criteria.
With the help of both facilities, Ather Energy is better able to satisfy the rising demand for its electric scooters and has been able to hasten the adoption of electric mobility. These key locations support effective distribution and demonstrate the company’s dedication to enhancing regional economies and communities.
