What Senior Employee of Ather Company said?
Speaking on the occasion, Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy Limited, said: “Since we entered Nepal in 2023, we’ve seen a strong response to Ather, and that’s translated into incredible growth for us in the market. We’ve significantly expanded our footprint, built out our retail, service and charging network, and grown the portfolio from the 450 to include Rizta. The 450X Overtones Series further strengthens that portfolio, bringing a fresh take on the 450, giving customers more choice while carrying forward some of the latest technologies shaping the Ather experience today. We’re looking to build on that momentum, and Nepal remains a market we’re committed to growing steadily over the long term.”
Ather entered Nepal in November 2023 with the 450 Series, marking its first international market. Since then, the company has built out its presence across the country through 14 experience centres and 31 fast charging points via its national distributor, Vaidya Energy Pvt. Ltd. In 2025, Ather added the Rizta to its portfolio in Nepal, bringing a family-focused offering centred around comfort and convenience. The introduction of the 450X Overtones now further expands the 450 Series offering in the market.
The new 450X Overtones brings a fresh design treatment to the 450, with a tone-on-tone finish across three colourways: Still White, Space Grey and Lunar Grey. Different textures and finishes across the scooter accentuate its form while retaining the distinctive design and performance-focused character of the 450 Series.
Alongside the new design, the 450 Series in Nepal now features technologies such as Magic Twist, Infinite Cruise, as well as Voice on Ather, which was recently rolled out in India. Magic Twist allows riders to decelerate by twisting the throttle backwards, using regenerative braking to slow the scooter while recovering energy. Infinite Cruise helps maintain a consistent speed with reduced throttle input, while Voice on Ather, powered by AtherStack 7.0, enables riders using a compatible Bluetooth headset or smart helmet to use voice commands for functions such as navigation, locating charging stations, and controlling supported scooter settings.
Ather has continued to build out its presence in international markets. In Sri Lanka, the company now operates 42 experience centres. This sits alongside a network of 715 experience centres in India, as the company continues to scale its presence market by market.
