Ather narrows losses as sales surge, funding Aurangabad capacity build-out

Ather Energy reported 89% year-on-year revenue growth and 81% higher deliveries in Q1FY27, while its operating loss narrowed sharply. Fresh funding from Hero MotoCorp and a ₹1,300 crore QIP will support Aurangabad expansion and the upcoming EL mass-market platform, though gross-margin pressure remains a watchpoint.

Ather Energy’s Q1FY27 revenue and deliveries surged as operating losses narrowed. Hero funding and QIP proceeds will support Aurangabad capacity expansion and the EL mass-market platform, though raw-material costs, margin pressure and EV competition remain key risks.

Why this matters

The results follow Ather Energy's IPO retail tranche reaching 63% subscription on Day 1 and HDFC Securities initiating coverage with a Buy call and 31% upside estimate.
