Ather Energy's Q1 results reveal a significant turnaround, with a consolidated net loss narrowing to ₹51 crore, down from ₹178 crore a year earlier. The company achieved its first positive EBITDA of ₹9 crore, a stark contrast to the ₹106 crore loss in the same quarter last year.12345678910111213

Total income soared by 87.2% to ₹1,260 crore, driven by the delivery of 83,173 electric scooters, marking an 80.5% year-on-year growth. This surge in demand has outstripped production capacity, prompting Ather to expand its manufacturing capabilities with the new Factory 3.0 at AURIC in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, expected to begin operations in Q3 FY27.

Despite rising raw material costs, Ather managed to protect its margins through strategic price adjustments and improved operational efficiency, as reflected in an EBITDA margin improvement of 1,650 basis points to 0.8%. The company also reported a consolidated Adjusted Gross Margin of ₹282 crore, up 82.3% from the previous year.

CEO Tarun Mehta emphasized the strong demand and favorable market conditions, stating that the upcoming launch of the new EL platform will further enhance Ather's growth trajectory in India's expanding electric two-wheeler market.

Key Insight
“Ather delivered 83,173 electric scooters in Q1 FY27, up 80.5% year-on-year, with demand still exceeding production capacity. CEO Tarun Mehta said the EL-platform scooter debut at Ather Community Day on August 29 and the Factory 3.0 ramp-up will drive the next growth phase.”
