Network has also expanded to Nepal and Sri Lanka

Ather has stated that while 3,675 chargers are operated by the company itself, more than 1,400 chargers come via partner networks. These include OEMs such as Hero Vida and Matter, as well as charge point operators like Bolt.Earth, Kazam and EVamp, all of whom have adopted the LECCS connector standard.

Major metros, including Pune, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai, now host over 100 fast chargers each. Bengaluru, Ather’s home city, leads the chart with more than 240 chargers. Meanwhile, Tier 2 cities such as Nashik, Malappuram and Indore have over 45 public fast chargers each, while Kozhikode and Coimbatore feature more than 65 chargers each.

Earlier this year, Ather also announced that it had crossed 400 fast-charging points in Tamil Nadu alone, covering 38 cities and key intercity routes such as Coimbatore-Bengaluru and Madurai-Kanyakumari.

As it stands, Ather’s charging infrastructure spans over 395 cities, and the company has also expanded internationally, with more than 30 fast chargers now operational across Nepal and Sri Lanka.
