Ather Energy Nears Full Capacity, Plans Maharashtra Plant to Fuel Next Growth Phase.

Electric two-wheeler maker Ather Energy has introduced allocation controls in select markets after capacity utilisation at its Hosur manufacturing facility crossed 90 per cent, driven by strong demand and a 69 per cent year-on-year increase in vehicle volumes in FY26.

Announcing the move alongside the company’s annual financial results, Chief Executive Officer Tarun Mehta said the existing facility is facing supply constraints as production approaches peak capacity.

For the financial year ended March 31, 2026, Ather Energy reported a 66 per cent rise in revenue from operations to ₹3,671 crore. The company also narrowed its net loss by 36 per cent to ₹517 crore from ₹812 crore in FY25. In a key milestone, Ather posted positive operating cash flow for the first time, aided by record fourth-quarter sales of 83,418 units.

To support its next phase of growth and address capacity limitations, the company is advancing plans for Factory 3.0, a greenfield manufacturing facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra. The first phase of the plant, with a planned production capacity of 42,000 units per month, is expected to commence operations by March 2027.

The new facility is expected to play a crucial role in meeting rising demand and strengthening Ather Energy’s manufacturing capabilities as it expands its presence in India’s electric two-wheeler market.
