Ather Energy has the active backing of companies like Hero Moto Corp and Flipkart as it proposes to increase its annual production capacity to five lakhs from the current 1.1 lakhs. Ather Energy has its manufacturing plant at Hosur in Tamil Nadu.

Tarun Mehta, CEO of Ather Energy, opines that the coming five years are crucial. It has already committed to investing Rs 130 crores per year in its manufacturing plant for the next five years. 

While the company manufactures 450X and 450 Plus versions of its electric scooters, it plans to introduce more variants from the following year. Besides, it aims to create a new electric scooter product in the next two years.

Presently, Ather feels that the focus should be more on scooters than bikes. Hence, the company could take time to enter this segment. As of date, Ather has its presence in 13 Indian cities. However, before the end of the present fiscal, the company plans to expand its footprint to 50 cities and gradually move up to 100 cities by the end of fiscal 2023.
