Since you have a rather long daily commute, we'd recommend you stick with the more comfortable, spacious and practical River Indie over the sporty and fun but less comfortable and practical Ather 450. The Indie will have more than sufficient range for your needs, and River so far has built a good reputation for its after-sales experience. Coming from your Xoom 110, the only point to watch out for will be the Indie's weight, and to ensure you are comfortable with it, we'd recommend a test ride before you make your decision. Also, it makes sense to opt for the faster 750W charger with your purchase, as the slower 450W charger will take a very long time to recharge your battery, especially pertinent given your daily usage.

Since you have a comfortable budget, our recommendation would be the TVS iQube S 4.7 / ST 5.3 variants, because they have big batteries which should comfortably help you cover multiple days' worth of riding on a single charge. The iQube is a proven, no-nonsense product from a big, reputed brand and TVS also has a widespread service network among EV scooters, which will matter more than spec-sheet numbers and feel-good farkles when you’ll use it every day. While the iQube's performance won't blow you away, its comfort, practicality and stress-free nature are sure to compensate for that.If performance is your number one priority and you can live with less comfort, the Ather 450S/450X are exciting options. However, given your long daily commutes, do bear in mind, it will demand serious commitment day after day, especially over bad roads. If you must have an electric motorcycle form at this budget, the Revolt RV400 is the most settled option, but neither its performance nor its range are attributes to write home about. The e-bike space is still very nascent and our recommendation today is to buy an electric scooter over them.
