Ather Energy to set up its 3rd plant in Maharashtra

The new facility will have an annual production capacity of 1 million units.

Bangalore-based electric 2-wheeler maker Ather Energy will set up its third manufacturing unit in Maharashtra. The new factory will come up in Aurangabad Industrial City (AURIC), located in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar.

Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, recently met Ather Energy co-founder Swapnil Jain. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Fadnavis confirmed that Ather will invest over Rs 2,000 crore in the state.

The Deputy CM also revealed that the new facility will have an annual production capacity of 1 million 2-wheelers and batteries. It is expected to provide employment to around 4,000 people.

According to Ather Energy, the location of the plant was chosen with the aim of reducing logistic costs and hastening the delivery of finished products to customers across India.

The third manufacturing unit will more than triple Ather’s total production capacity. Currently, the company’s two production units have a combined capacity of 4.2 lakh units.
