Ather Energy has significantly expanded its retail presence in India, crossing the milestone of 700 Experience Centres (ECs) nationwide. The company added over 350 new centres in the past year, effectively doubling its network from 351 centres as of March 2025, strengthening its reach across both existing and emerging markets.
This aggressive expansion has played a key role in boosting Ather’s market presence, with its national market share rising to 18.7% in March 2026, according to Vahan data. Growth has been largely driven by the strong performance of the Ather Rizta, the company’s first family-oriented scooter, which has recorded sales of over 2.8 lakh units since launch. Continued demand for the Ather 450 performance range has further supported volume growth across regions.
Ather’s retail strategy in FY26 has focused on expanding into Middle India and other underserved regions, enabling faster scale-up and stronger market penetration. At the same time, the company continues to deepen its presence in South India while expanding into Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, creating a more balanced national footprint.
Alongside retail growth, Ather has also strengthened its ecosystem to enhance customer experience. The company now operates over 500 authorised service centres across India and has expanded its Ather Grid network to more than 4,300 fast and neighbourhood charging points globally, ensuring seamless charging access for its users.
Mr. Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy, said, “The last year has been about scaling our retail footprint as a key lever for growth. While we’ve increased our Experience Centre count across all geographies, the expansion in Middle India and to some degree in Rest of India has been particularly aggressive. This has allowed us to target new geographies and segments, which have led to strong volume and market share gains. We believe we still have headroom for growth, and will continue on this path over the next few quarters.”
