Ather Energy rolled its one millionth scooter off the Hosur line this week, becoming the second Indian electric two-wheeler maker to reach the milestone.

Industry-wide, electric models accounted for 28% of new two-wheeler registrations last quarter — up from 18% a year ago — driven by falling battery prices and expanding fast-charging networks.

Analysts now expect price parity with petrol scooters, without subsidies, by early 2027.
