Ather Energy will launch its EL entry-level electric scooter platform on August 29, targeting India’s ₹1 lakh-₹1.25 lakh segment. It is adding 60,000 monthly units of capacity and expects the lower-cost platform to lift market share above 20% without diluting margins.

Why this matters

The EL launch follows Ather’s Q1 EBITDA-positive result and 81% delivery growth, extending its push into entry-level scooters after its April 2025 IPO retail tranche was fully subscribed by Day 2.
