Ather Energy incorporated a Hong Kong subsidiary to enhance critical procurement functions while reporting Q3 FY26 revenue from operations at ₹9.54 billion (+50% YoY) and net loss of ₹846 million (-57% YoY). This reflects scaling EV sales, cost controls, and strategic expansion in electric two-wheelers.
Ather Energy, Bengaluru's electric two-wheeler pioneer, announced Q3 FY26 results on Feb 2, 2026, showcasing revenue of ₹9.54 billion up nearly 50% YoY driven by robust scooter demand and 179,525 units sold in 9M FY26.
Despite a ₹846 million net loss, this marks a sharp 57% YoY improvement, thanks to scale efficiencies and tighter cost controls, with material costs at 69% of expenses. Total costs rose to ₹1,075 crore, but operational leverage is emerging.
Strategically, Ather incorporated a wholly-owned unit in Hong Kong to optimize procurement for EV components like batteries, mitigating supply risks from China/South Korea amid global trade dynamics. With market share at 17.62% in Dec and shares at ₹610 (mcap ₹23,292 Cr), Ather eyes IPO and insurance ventures.
