Here’s what the company said:

Commenting on the sales figures, Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy said, “In June’23, we delivered 6,479 units to our customers. The drop in numbers was expected, given the recent price increase on account of the lower FAME subsidy and consumers bringing their purchases forward into May. While the drop was slightly more than we’d anticipated, we remain optimistic about an industry bounce-back over the next 2-3 months.”

He further added, “We have always been of the view that the subsidy should be phased off gradually over time so that consumers can adjust to more realistic market prices. While it impacts short-term financials, this is certainly a step in the right direction from a long-term perspective. We also continued to expand our retail footprint across India and now have 131 Experience Centres in 90 cities.”
