Ather Energy, India’s top electric two-wheeler maker, has hit an exciting milestone—rolling out its 5,00,000th vehicle from its Hosur, Tamil Nadu plant! The milestone scooter is none other than Ather’s flagship family scooter, Rizta, which has quickly become a favorite since its launch last year and is now a major growth driver for the brand.
Over the years, Ather has built a strong lineup of performance and family scooters. The Rizta, in particular, has struck a chord with riders, contributing to over one-third of Ather’s total production volumes within just a year. The scooter’s popularity has helped Ather expand rapidly, especially across Middle and North India, including tier 2 and 3 cities, along with metro markets.
Ather currently runs two manufacturing facilities in Hosur—one for vehicle assembly and another for battery production—with a combined capacity of 4,20,000 scooters annually. To keep up with growing demand, the company is setting up a third facility, Factory 3.0, in Bidkin, Maharashtra. Built on Industry 4.0 principles, this new plant will use advanced digital technologies to streamline production. Once fully operational, Ather’s total production capacity across all facilities will jump to 1.42 million electric two-wheelers a year.
