Official Statement
Ravneet S. Phokela, CBO, Ather Energy said, “We continue to witness strong demand across the country. We delivered 2825 units in January 2022 and were unable to meet the total demand owing to the supply chain challenges that the industry is facing. The Ather 450X and the Ather 450 Plus continue to win consumer love because of their thrilling performance and the overall hassle-free ownership experience. To cater to the growing demand, we continued to expand our retail footprint in January and opened new experience centers in Nagpur and Lucknow. The pace of retail expansion will only accelerate over the next few months as we enter new cities and open more experience centers to meet the scaled-up volumes. We have a strong order book and we see sales constantly rising as consumers discover the benefits of owning an electric scooter.”
