Ather Energy share price jumps 4% after EV two-wheeler maker announces insurance business plans

Indian two-wheeler electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, Ather Energy, shares jumped 4% during the intraday stock market session on Friday, 19 December 2025, after the company announced its plans to expand into the auto insurance business through a wholly-owned subsidiary, according to an exchange filing.

In the BSE filing, Ather Energy confirmed that the company plans to enter the auto insurance services business, where the firm will operate as a ‘corporate agent’ after incorporating a wholly owned subsidiary for operations.

“In an effort to make the ownership experience more seamless, the new entity will focus on offering auto insurance policies, in partnership with multiple insurers, for its customers across the country,” the company informed the stock exchanges through its filing on Friday.

Ather Energy shares were trading higher during Friday's stock market session, after investors acknowledged the company's expansion into the auto insurance services business.

“By bringing insurance distribution closer to the Ather ecosystem, we can make it simpler, more transparent, and better aligned with how our customers actually use their vehicles. Over time, this also gives us the ability to work with partners to design auto insurance products that reflect real EV usage, rather than adapting legacy frameworks,” said Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy.
