Ather Energy Crosses 7 Lakh EV Sales! Bengaluru Startup Becomes India's Fourth Biggest Electric Scooter Brand

Ather Energy has reached a major milestone in India's fast-growing electric two-wheeler market. The Bengaluru-based EV manufacturer has now delivered more than 7 lakh electric scooters to customers across the country, becoming the fourth electric two-wheeler brand in India to achieve this landmark.

According to the latest vehicle registration data, Ather's cumulative retail sales stood at 704,447 units as of June 25, 2026, reflecting the company's steady rise since it began commercial sales in 2018.

Joins India's Elite EV Club

With this achievement, Ather Energy joins an exclusive list of electric two-wheeler manufacturers that have crossed the 7 lakh sales milestone. Earlier, Ola Electric, TVS Motor, and Bajaj Auto had already reached this mark.

The latest milestone highlights Ather's growing presence in India's competitive EV market.

Rapid Growth Over the Last 18 Months

Ather's biggest growth spurt has come in the past one-and-a-half years. Between January 1, 2025, and April 22, 2026, the company sold 378,773 electric scooters, accounting for nearly 54% of its total sales since 2018.

The sharp rise reflects the increasing demand for electric scooters and Ather's expanding product lineup and dealership network.

Rizta Leads the Charge

One of the key drivers behind Ather's impressive growth has been the Rizta family electric scooter. Alongside it, premium models such as the 450S, 450X, and 450 Apex have also attracted strong customer interest.

The company witnessed relatively modest sales during its initial years between 2018 and 2021, partly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, momentum picked up significantly from 2022, when Ather sold 54,769 scooters and captured nearly 8% of India's electric two-wheeler market.

In 2023, the company crossed the one lakh annual sales milestone for the first time, marking a major turning point in its growth journey.

2026 Off to a Record-Breaking Start

Ather has continued its strong performance this year as well. Between January 1 and June 25, 2026, the company sold 163,788 electric scooters, giving it a 17.53% share of India's electric two-wheeler market during the period.

The company's best-ever monthly performance came in March 2026, when it sold 36,362 scooters, setting a new all-time sales record. It was also the first time Ather crossed the 30,000-unit monthly sales mark.

Adding to its momentum, the company has recorded monthly sales exceeding 20,000 units in eight of the last nine months, demonstrating sustained demand for its electric scooters.

Looking Ahead

With strong demand for the Rizta and 450 series, consistent monthly sales growth, and expanding market share, Ather Energy has firmly established itself as one of India's leading electric scooter manufacturers. Crossing the 7 lakh sales milestone marks another important chapter in the company's journey as competition in the EV segment continues to intensify.
