Ather Energy, India’s home grown electric two-wheeler startup has finally started to expand to various Indian cities, aggressively. It is present in 27 cities and plans to move to 40 more by the end of this year. So in order to cater to these new cities, the Bengaluru-based company recently opened a new 1.23 lakh sq ft manufacturing facility around Hosur. We recently got a glimpse of this new plant and we kind of liked it. So here we will tell you five things that you should know about Ather Energy’s new Hosur manufacturing plant.

Ather can now make up to 9200 electric scooters in a month. This means, it now has a manufacturing capabilities of 1.1 lakh scooters in a year. So this new facility will act as a manufacturing hub for now. In case, the company wants to increase its production in future, it can simply extend its facility by removing the adjacent wall of this large plant.  

2: Vehicle Line Details

Currently, there’s one assembly line with a total of 37 stop points. Each vehicle stops for around four minutes in each of these points. So it takes around 148 minutes to assemble one Ather scooter, which we think is a decent number.
