Ather plans to ramp up its production by about 2,80,000 units to produce 4,00,000 units as compared to 1,20,000 units that it has been already producing, annually.
October 2021 has been the best month for Ather Energy in terms of sales as the manufacturer has been registering 20 percent growth on month-on-month sales. Additionally, between April – November 2021, Ather have seen an abundant bump in walk-ins at their experience centers, web enquiries and test rides; in this tenure, bookings have quadrupled as well.

Lastly, Ather have confirmed that they will be tapping into 100 more cities with 150 new touchpoints by March 2023 for the ease of customers and in order to strengthen their network.
