Ather 450X, one of the most popular electric scooters in India, has received a substantial price cut. Bengaluru-based Ather Energy has taken this step after the Indian Govt. recently revised the FAME II (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India) scheme.
As per the revised FAME II scheme, the subsidy amount for electric two-wheelers, that meet certain eligibility conditions, has been increased from INR 10,000 per kWh to up to INR 15,000 per kWh. The significant hike of 50% will result in eligible electric two-wheelers in India getting more affordable. Ather Energy is amongst the first E2W manufacturers to announce the price cut for its 450X and 450 Plus electric scooters.

We wouldn’t be surprised to see other electric two-wheelers such as the Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube, etc., becoming more affordable as well thanks to the revised FAME II scheme that would somewhat bridge the gap between petrol-powered two-wheelers and electric two-wheelers.
