What to watch

  • Monthly VAHAN registrations and Ather's market-share trend versus TVS, Bajaj, Ola and Hero MotoCorp.
  • Sales per Experience Centre after the network expansion, especially whether new outlets dilute store productivity.
  • Maharashtra facility commissioning milestones, utilization rates and evidence of capacity reaching the FY27 target.
  • Sequential gross-margin and EBITDA-loss improvements, including the impact of dealer commissions and retail expansion costs.
  • Changes to EV subsidies, state registration policies, battery-safety rules or financing availability.
  • Waiting periods, service complaints and spare-parts availability as the installed base grows.
  • Prioritize Experience Centre expansion in high-registration Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities while increasing service-bay density alongside sales outlets.
  • Accelerate Maharashtra plant ramp-up toward 42,000 monthly units, with supplier localization to protect margins at higher volumes.
  • Use financing, exchange and fleet partnerships to improve conversion without relying solely on vehicle discounting.
  • Expand charging, roadside assistance and service subscriptions to reinforce ownership confidence and create recurring revenue.
  • Rationalize outlet economics by tracking sales per centre, test-ride-to-booking conversion, delivery lead times and service turnaround.
