Ather Energy has achieved a major milestone in India’s electric two-wheeler market by crossing 3 lakh electric scooter sales in calendar year 2026. The Bengaluru-based electric vehicle manufacturer has become the third Indian electric scooter maker, after TVS Motor Company and Bajaj Auto, to surpass the 300,000-unit sales mark this year.
According to retail sales data from the VAHAN portal, Ather Energy sold 301,133 electric scooters between January 1 and November 6, 2026. This represents an impressive 67% year-on-year growth compared to the same period last year. The company has also secured a 16.32% share of India’s total electric two-wheeler market, which recorded sales of 18,39,939 units during the period.
The achievement marks Ather Energy’s highest-ever annual market share, surpassing its previous share of 16.12% recorded in calendar year 2025, when the company sold 2,16,463 electric scooters. With sales continuing to grow, Ather is now on track to cross 3.5 lakh units in 2026.
Ather Maintains Third Position in India’s EV Market
Ather Energy currently holds the third position among India’s electric two-wheeler manufacturers. TVS Motor Company leads the market with 4,83,488 units sold and a 26% market share, followed by Bajaj Auto with 4,14,186 units and a 22% share.
Ather Energy’s 3,01,133-unit sales place it ahead of Hero MotoCorp’s Vida electric scooter business, which recorded 2,08,454 units and an 11% market share during the same period.
The growing sales figures highlight Ather’s expanding presence in India’s electric scooter segment, supported by its product portfolio, increasing consumer interest and expanding market reach.
March Records Ather’s Highest Monthly Sales
March 2026 was Ather Energy’s strongest month, with the company recording retail sales of 36,630 electric scooters. This was the first time its monthly sales crossed the 30,000-unit mark.
The manufacturer has crossed 30,000 monthly sales on six occasions over the past 13 months. These include October 2025, March 2026, June, July, September and October 2026. In October 2026, the company sold 31,941 electric scooters.
However, production capacity limitations have affected the company’s ability to meet growing demand and dispatch sufficient vehicles to its dealerships.
New Manufacturing Facility to Support Future Growth
Ather Energy’s expanding product lineup, which includes the Rizta, 450S, 450X, 450 Apex and the newly introduced Konarc family, is expected to support its future sales performance.
The Konarc series, launched on August 29, 2026, is positioned to attract mainstream electric scooter buyers. However, Ather has prioritised the launch of its mid-range variants, while the entry-level variant is now expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2027.
To address manufacturing limitations and meet rising customer demand, the company is expected to benefit from its new manufacturing facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra.
Since entering the electric two-wheeler market, Ather Energy has delivered a cumulative 8,43,276 electric scooters by November 6, 2026. The latest milestone reflects its growing contribution to India’s electric mobility transition.
With expanding production capacity, new product introductions and increasing market demand, Ather Energy is positioning itself for further growth in India’s competitive electric two-wheeler industry.
