Ather Energy, one of the leading electric two-wheeler manufacturers in India, has announced a price hike for its entire electric scooter lineup, ranging up to ₹3,000, which will be effective from January 1, 2026. The Bengaluru-based EV startup has cited reasons such as the rise in input cost due to increased prices of key raw materials, adverse foreign exchange fluctuations, and disruptions in global supply chain, behind the price hike move.
