Ather Energy, a Bengaluru-based electric scooter manufacturer founded in 2013 by…Ather Energy, a Bengaluru-based electric scooter manufacturer founded in 2013 by Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain, raised Rs 600 crore ($71 million) from existing investor National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) around August 13, 2024, achieving unicorn status with a post-money valuation of $1.3 billion. This marks an increase from its prior $750 million valuation in 2022. NIIF, in which the Government of India holds about 49%, led the round, following its participation in Ather's $128 million Series E alongside Hero MotoCorp in May 2022.
The funding supports Ather's expansion in the competitive Indian EV market, where it faces rivals like Ola Electric and TVS Motor. Ather offers premium electric scooters and operates the Ather Grid with over 1,600 charging stations across 100 cities as of December 2023. Recent partnerships include Amara Raja for advanced lithium-ion cells. The company converted to a public limited company in June 2024, preparing for an IPO by end-2024 targeting $2 billion valuation, advised by HSBC, Nomura, and JPMorgan.
Financially, Ather reported FY24 revenue of approximately Rs 1,789 crore, flat or slightly down from Rs 1,783 crore in FY23, with losses widening to Rs 1,059 crore from Rs 864.5 crore. This follows explosive 336% growth in FY23 from Rs 408.5 crore in FY22. Total funding raised to date exceeds $450 million, including over $125 million in the prior three months.

The company designs and manufactures electric scooters and operates a charging network called Ather Grid, competing with Ola Electric, TVS, and Bajaj in India's growing EV two-wheeler segment.
In September 2023, Ather Energy raised Rs 900 crore (approximately $108 million) from existing shareholders Hero MotoCorp and Singapore's sovereign fund GIC through a rights issue. The round was structured as Series E2 Compulsory Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS). Hero MotoCorp, already the largest shareholder with a 33.1% stake, invested Rs 550 crore ($66.5 million), while GIC invested the remainder. The company planned to use the proceeds for new product launches, expansion of its charging infrastructure, and growth of its retail network.
Ather Energy demonstrated strong financial performance in the financial year ending March 2023. Revenue surged 4.4x to Rs 1,783 crore from Rs 408 crore in the prior year. The company sold 93,212 units in FY2023, a 4x increase from the previous fiscal year. Its retail footprint expanded substantially, growing from 30 stores to 130 stores. The company operated over 200 retail touchpoints across more than 100 Indian cities and had built a charging network with over 1,500 Ather Grid charging stations.
Prior to the September 2023 round, Ather Energy had been valued at $739 million in a funding round the previous year (2022). The company's earlier backers included Tiger Global, Flipkart founders Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal, and India's quasi-sovereign fund NIIF. By the time of this September 2023 investment, Ather had raised approximately $336 million cumulatively. The company had been on track to approach $1 billion in revenue but faced headwinds after India's Ministry of Heavy Industries reduced subsidies for electric two-wheelers in June 2023, impacting EV demand industry-wide.

This round was described as an extension of its prior $128 million Series E in May 2022 led by NIIF and Hero MotoCorp. Sources indicate the post-money valuation reached $700-800 million after this funding, positioning Ather below unicorn status at the time while competitors like Ola Electric were valued much higher.
The funds were earmarked to ramp up manufacturing capacity amid surging electric vehicle demand, with Ather's second facility capable of 400,000 units annually set to start production and plans for a third facility underway. The company sells variants of its popular Ather 450X scooter and operates 38 experience centers across 32 cities, aiming to expand to 150 centers in 100 cities by 2023. In September 2022, Ather sold 7,435 units, reflecting 247% year-on-year growth, though trailing leaders Ola Electric (9,649 units) and Okinawa (8,280 units).
This round followed other 2022 financings, including Rs 50 crore debt from InnoVen Capital in September. Ather was exploring IPO possibilities and had initiated discussions with investment banks. Later developments saw the company achieve unicorn status in a subsequent NIIF-led round at $1.3 billion valuation, with FY2024 revenue at Rs 1,753 crore.

The company had previously raised about $13 million from investors including Tiger Global Management ($12 million in 2015) and Flipkart co-founders Sachin and Binny Bansal as angel investors in 2014. In October 2016, Hero MotoCorp made its initial investment in Ather's Series B round, committing Rs 205 crore total (with Rs 180 crore received upfront and the rest in tranches) for a stake of approximately 26-30 percent, marking the largest investment in India's smart electric two-wheeler segment at the time.
The funding valued Ather Energy at roughly Rs 600 crore post-money, based on the stake acquired by Hero MotoCorp. Proceeds were allocated to engineering and testing validation for its first product, the S340 electric scooter slated for production later that year, building manufacturing facilities in Whitefield, and expanding charging infrastructure in cities like Bengaluru, Chennai, and Pune. Hero MotoCorp, India's largest two-wheeler maker by volume, emphasized strategic alignment with sustainable mobility and green manufacturing.
Ather competed in a nascent Indian electric vehicle market with few players, focusing on high-performance alternatives for daily commutes.
