Ather Energy launches 2025 450X electric scooter in Sri Lanka

Ather Energy Limited launched the 2025 Ather 450X electric scooter in Sri Lanka on August 18, 2025, marking the Indian manufacturer's continued international expansion in its second overseas market after Nepal. The launch makes the updated model available across 19 Experience Centres operated by national distributor Evolution Auto Pvt. Ltd.

The company first entered Sri Lanka in December 2024 with the original Ather 450X model and has since established charging infrastructure to support electric vehicle ownership in the country.

"We are thrilled to launch the 2025 Ather 450X in Sri Lanka. They have always been a strong scooter market, and the positive response to the Ather 450X since its launch last year has been amazing. Enthused by this response, we have fast-tracked our distribution and are already at 19 stores across the country, to make our scooters more accessible. We believe the 2025 Ather 450X is a great fit for the region, given its focus on performance, reliability, and quality, and how well it aligns with the terrain and riding conditions in Sri Lanka," said Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer at Ather Energy.

The 2025 model features a multi-mode traction control system with Rain, Road, and Rally modes optimized for different riding conditions. It includes improved TrueRange technology and multi-compound tyres developed in collaboration with MRF for enhanced efficiency, grip, and range.

Ather began international operations in November 2023 with its first Experience Centre in Nepal, where it now operates 9 locations and recently introduced the Rizta family scooter. In India, the company operates 446 Experience Centres and 3,997 Ather Grid fast chargers and Neighbourhood Chargers.

Founded in 2013 by Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain, Ather Energy manufactures two product lines: the performance-oriented Ather 450 series and the family-focused Ather Rizta launched in 2024. As of June 30, 2025, the company has installed 4,032 fast chargers and neighbourhood chargers globally, including 35 across Nepal and Sri Lanka.
