Ather 450 gets FAME-II approval

Ather Energy has announced that its Ather 450 electric scooter has received FAME-II approval and will therefore receive an increased subsidy of Rs. 27,000. The revised on-road price of the Ather 450 in Bangalore is Rs. 1,23,230. 

The company had halted deliveries so that the new subsidy could be passed on to the customers. Customers can expect their scooters being delivered in the next couple of weeks.

The Ather 450 is powered by a Brushless DC electric motor (BLDC) that produces 7.2 BHP and 20.5 Nm of torque and comes equipped with a 2.4 kWh lithium-ion battery that is claimed to offer a maximum range of 107 km.

Last month, Ather Energy announced plans to launch its e-scooters in Chennai in June 2019.
