What happened

Ather Energy’s Rizta-led sales growth reduced revenue per scooter by 12%, while it led South India electric two-wheeler sales with 22% share in Q4FY25. Coverage

Key facts

  • Revenue per scooter fell 12%
  • 22% South India market share in Q4FY25
  • 31% projected upside
  • 10,754 Ather units sold in July 2025
  • 11,270 Ola Electric units sold in July 2025

Why this matters

Ather’s 22% South India share shows Rizta and retail expansion are driving volume, but the 12% revenue-per-scooter decline makes mix management and store-level profitability critical.

What to watch

  • Quarterly South India electric two-wheeler share relative to the reported 22% Q4FY25 level.
  • Revenue per scooter trend: stabilization after the reported 12% decline would indicate improving mix or monetization.
  • Rizta share of registrations, booking-to-delivery conversion and cancellation rates.
  • Competitor discounting, financing subvention and new family-scooter launches in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
  • Retail-store additions versus registrations per store, test-ride conversion and dealer inventory days.
