Ather is also building its war chest amid rising competition from start-ups like Softbank Group-backed Ola Electric, which recently raised $200 million, as well as from India's traditional bikemakers like Hero Electric, Bajaj Auto, and TVS MotoCorp, which are speeding up their clean mobility plans. Recently, the Hero MotoCorp board approved a new investment of Rs. 420 crore in Ather Energy, in line with its vision towards future mobility. Till now, Ather Energy has raised about 12 billion rupees ($160 million) since its inception in 2013.

All of this, he said will be attempted over the next three years. Ather currently manufactures about 5,000 electric scooters per month, with expansion planned to increase this to 20,000 scooters per month starting this year.
