Ather Energy has provided a glimpse of its most budget-friendly electric scooter, the 450S, and revealed it’s starting price of Rs 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom Bengaluru, including FAME II subsidy). This makes it Rs 15,000 more affordable than the Ather 450X’s entry-level model that comes without Pro Pack.
| Model | Price (Ex-Showroom Bengaluru) |
| Ather 450S | Rs 1,29,999 |
| Ather 450X (without Pro Pack) | Rs 1,44,921 |
| Ather 450X (with Pro Pack) | Rs 1,65,435 |
State subsidies will further bring down the price to some extent.
