To meet the growing demand, Ather is setting up its third manufacturing facility, Factory 3.0, at Bidkin, Auric, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra. The facility will be developed in two phases and will be built on Industry 4.0 principles, integrating advanced digital technologies into the manufacturing process. Once both phases are fully operational, Factory 3.0 will increase Ather’s total installed capacity across all facilities to 1.42 million electric two-wheelers annually.
