# Ather Energy Crosses 800,000 Electric Scooter Sales in India > Ather has reached 800,822 cumulative registrations, with 59% of its total sales arriving since January 2025 as the Rizta drives rapid growth. - **Author**: Prakash - **Published**: 2026-09-30 - **Modified**: 2026-09-30 - **Category**: news - **URL**: https://bestev.in/news/ather-energy-crosses-800000-electric-scooter-sales-in-india-20260930 --- Ather Energy has crossed 800,000 cumulative electric-scooter registrations in India, becoming the fourth Indian electric two-wheeler manufacturer to reach the milestone. Vehicle-registration data available through 28 September 2026 shows 800,822 Ather scooters registered since the company began retail deliveries in 2018. Ola Electric, TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto are the other electric two-wheeler manufacturers to have crossed 800,000 cumulative registrations. The figures represent customer registrations recorded in the Vahan database rather than factory dispatches to dealerships. ## Most Ather sales came during the last 21 months Ather's expansion has accelerated sharply since the beginning of 2025. From 1 January 2025 through 28 September 2026, the company registered 475,144 scooters. That means approximately 59% of all Ather scooters registered since 2018 were added during the most recent 21-month period. The rapid increase coincided with the expansion of Ather's retail network and growing demand for the Rizta family scooter, which broadened the company's appeal beyond its performance-oriented 450 range. ## Ather sales by calendar year | Calendar year | Retail registrations | |---|---:| | 2022 | 54,773 | | 2023 | 111,812 | | 2024 | 136,512 | | 2025 | 216,460 | | 2026 through 28 September | 258,684 | Ather's registrations more than doubled in 2023, rising 104% from the previous year. Growth moderated during 2024 before accelerating again in 2025, when registrations increased 59% to a new annual record of 216,460 units. The company surpassed that full-year record within the first nine months of 2026. Its 258,684 registrations through 28 September were already approximately 42,000 units higher than the entire 2025 result. ## Market share reaches its highest level Ather accounted for approximately 16.67% of India's 934,141 electric two-wheelers registered from 1 January through 28 September 2026. This was slightly above its 16.12% share during 2025 and represented the company's strongest calendar-year market-share level so far. The wider total includes electric scooters, motorcycles and mopeds. Ather's portfolio remains concentrated on scooters. ## Four months above 30,000 registrations Ather first crossed 30,000 monthly registrations in October 2025, when it recorded 30,246 units. It subsequently passed the mark on three occasions during 2026: - March: 36,633 units - June: 31,527 units - July: 30,685 units March 2026 remains the company's strongest retail month, with Ather taking approximately 18% of the electric two-wheeler market during that period. Based on its performance through September, Ather is positioned to set another annual sales record in 2026. Reaching 350,000 registrations for the year would require roughly 91,000 additional units during October-December, or an average of about 30,400 registrations per month. That target is achievable only if the company maintains volumes close to its strongest recent months, so it should be treated as a projection rather than a confirmed outcome. ## Rizta drives volume while Konarc starts deliveries The Rizta has become Ather's principal volume model. During August, the company dispatched 29,694 scooters to dealerships, of which 22,586--or approximately 76%--were Rizta units. The 450 range contributed 6,891 units, while the newly introduced Konarc accounted for 217 dealership dispatches after its launch late in the month. These August model figures are wholesale dispatches and should not be directly compared with the Vahan retail-registration totals used for Ather's 800,000 milestone. The Konarc is intended to extend Ather further into the mainstream family-scooter market. Its entry variants compete with affordable versions of the TVS iQube, TVS Orbiter, Bajaj Chetak, Hero Vida VX2 and other mass-market electric scooters. BestEV has covered the Konarc's price, variants and features separately. The more important signal in this sales milestone is how quickly the Rizta transformed Ather from a relatively premium scooter brand into a larger-volume manufacturer. ## What the milestone means Crossing 800,000 registrations places Ather among India's four largest electric two-wheeler manufacturers by cumulative retail volume. Its immediate challenge is maintaining growth while expanding the Konarc without shifting too many buyers away from the more expensive Rizta. Production availability, dealership reach, service capacity and competition from TVS and Bajaj will determine whether Ather can sustain monthly volumes near 30,000 units. The company's progress through the end of 2026 will show whether the current momentum can translate into a first 350,000-unit calendar year. --- - [More news articles](https://bestev.in/news/category/news) - [All articles](https://bestev.in/news)
