Ather Energy will increase the prices of its electric scooters by up to Rs 3,000 across all models from January 1, 2026, citing higher input and component costs. Customers buying in December can avoid the hike and avail promotional benefits worth up to Rs 20,000 under the company's "Electric December" campaign.
Ather Price Hike From January 1
Ather said the revision of up to Rs 3,000 will apply to its entire scooter portfolio, with model-wise changes to be announced closer to implementation. The company attributed the increase to rising prices of raw materials, foreign exchange fluctuations, and higher costs of key electronic components in global markets.
