The product

What is the Ather 450X?

The Ather 450X is India’s flagship premium electric scooter — manufactured entirely in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. It runs a proprietary operating system with a 7-inch touchscreen dashboard and real over-the-air (OTA) software updates that improve your scooter’s performance and add features long after purchase. Every core component is designed and built in India — not re-badged Chinese hardware.

“Ather didn’t just build a scooter. They built an argument — that premium, software-first electric mobility wasn’t a compromise. It was an upgrade. And slowly, India started listening.”

FAQs

What is Ather Energy and who founded it?

Founded in 2013 by IIT Madras graduates Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain, this Bengaluru-based EV company has become one of India’s leading electric scooter manufacturers. Backed by Hero MotoCorp and Tiger Global, it operates a dedicated production facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu.

The current lineup includes the 450X (performance-focused), 450S (everyday premium), Rizta (family-oriented commuter), and the limited-edition 450 Apex. These models feature touchscreen dashboards, connected technology, and over-the-air software updates.

Atlas is a fast-charging infrastructure network with more than 1,800 charging points across 150+ cities in India. It supports convenient charging for EV riders and is among the country’s largest two-wheeler charging ecosystems.

The EV manufacturer filed for an IPO during 2024–25 and has secured funding of over ₹2,000 crore through multiple investment rounds. Like many growth-focused electric vehicle brands, it continues to invest in production capacity, technology development, and charging infrastructure.

While Ola Electric focuses on high-volume sales and competitive pricing, this Bengaluru-based brand is known for its premium positioning, software-driven features, charging ecosystem, and established service network. Buyers often compare affordability with overall ownership experience when choosing between the two brands.
