If you are planning to buy an Ather electric scooter in 2026, be prepared to pay slightly more. Ather Energy has announced a price increase of up to ₹3,000 across its entire electric scooter range. The revised prices came into effect from January 1, 2026.
The electric two-wheeler maker said the decision was taken due to rising input costs, higher prices of key raw materials, foreign exchange fluctuations, and continued global supply chain disruptions. The increase applies uniformly across all Ather models currently available in India.
Ather Energy sells the Rizta and 450 series electric scooters in the Indian market. With this revision, every variant has become more expensive. While the hike is relatively small, it may still affect buyers who were planning purchases around a fixed budget.
Below is the revised price list after the hike:
| Model / Variant | Current Starting Price | Price Hike | New Starting Price |
| Ather Rizta S | ₹1,14,546 | ₹3,000 | ₹1,17,546 |
| Ather Rizta Z | ₹1,34,047 | ₹3,000 | ₹1,37,047 |
| Ather 450S | ₹1,22,889 | ₹3,000 | ₹1,25,889 |
| Ather 450X | ₹1,50,046 | ₹3,000 | ₹1,53,046 |
| Ather 450 Apex | ₹1,82,946 | ₹3,000 | ₹1,85,946 |
Note: All prices mentioned are ex-showroom and may vary depending on state subsidies, registration charges, insurance costs, and local taxes.
Despite the increase, Ather scooters remain popular due to their premium design, connected features, strong performance, and growing charging infrastructure.
For buyers considering an Ather scooter in 2026, the price hike means factoring in slightly higher upfront costs. However, electric scooters still offer lower running and maintenance expenses compared to petrol-powered two-wheelers. Buyers should also check whether local EV subsidies or benefits apply, as these can help offset the increased price.
Comparing models based on daily usage, charging availability, and long-term ownership costs can help buyers make an informed decision.
