Bengaluru-based electric vehicle manufacturer Ather Energy has reached a significant milestone by rolling out its 500,000th electric scooter from its manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. The landmark unit is the company’s latest family-focused model, the Rizta, which has rapidly become one of Ather’s strongest growth drivers since its launch last year.
### Journey from Niche to Full-Range EV Manufacturer
Over the years, Ather has evolved from a niche performance EV brand into a full-range manufacturer catering to both family riders and enthusiasts. The company has aggressively expanded across middle and northern India, entering several tier-2 and tier-3 cities. This expansion aligns with Ather’s goal of making its growing product lineup and charging infrastructure more accessible to a wider audience.
### Expansion of Manufacturing Capabilities
Currently, Ather operates two facilities in Hosur: one dedicated to vehicle assembly and another focused on battery production. Together, these facilities have a combined capacity of 420,000 scooters per year. To meet the rising demand for its electric scooters, Ather is establishing a third facility, Factory 3.0, located in Bidkin, Maharashtra.
The new facility will be developed in two phases implementing Industry 4.0 principles. Once fully operational, Ather’s total manufacturing capacity will increase to 1.42 million (14.2 lakh) electric two-wheelers per year.
### Commitment to Quality and Reliability
Commenting on this milestone, Swapnil Jain, Co-founder and CTO of Ather Energy, described crossing the half-million mark as a major achievement. He highlighted that the company’s journey has been focused not only on building vehicles but also on establishing a scalable and reliable manufacturing ecosystem.
Jain credited years of dedicated engineering, rigorous testing, and meticulous attention to quality at every stage of production as key factors underpinning Ather’s continued success.
