Ather Energy Opens Its First Dealership In Rajasthan

Buoyed by the massive response to its electric scooters, Ather Energy continues to expand its footprint in the Indian market. After opening its first dealership in Ahmedabad last month, the brand's newest address is Rajasthan with a showroom in Jaipur. With this, the brand's dealer network has been stretched to 13+ cities, including Pune, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Kochi, Nagpur, and others. 

The showroom in Jaipur is located at BL Tower-2 on Tonk Road, near the Durgapura Flyover. Though it will open next month, the dealership has already started early test rides after getting a lot of enquiries. The brand will also set 3 to 4 fast-charging stations (Ather grid) in the next one month and double the count by the end of this year. Besides this, the ‎Bangalore-based EV manufacturer is also looking to partner with malls, restaurants, tech parks, cafes, gyms to set up charging stations in the city.

Apart from this, Ather will open 14 more dealerships in the coming months. These new cities will be Mysore, Indore, Panaji, Nasik, Chandigarh, Bhubaneshwar, Surat, Vijaywada, Visakhapatnam, Guwahati, Nagpur, Noida, Lucknow, and Siliguri.
