 Targeting aggressive growth in Tier 2 and 3 markets, Ather revises the prices of the Ather 450S

Ex-showroom price is now INR 1,09,000 in Bangalore and as low as INR 97,500 in Delhi

The Ather 450S now available at a compelling price point, making it accessible to more consumers


National, 11 January 2024: Ather Energy, India’s leading electric scooter manufacturer, announced new prices for its entry variant scooter – the 450S. In a move to make the scooter more accessible to a wider audience, Ather is offering the Ather 450S at a starting price of INR 1,09,000 in Bangalore and INR 97,500 in Delhi. Built on Ather’s best-selling 450 platform, the 450S offers segment-leading performance and technology compared to 125cc petrol scooters and EV scooters like category-leading torque & acceleration, India’s first Deep View Display Dashboard, a 5 year battery warranty and more.

Commenting on the revised pricing for the 450S, Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer at Ather Energy, said,“Ather is embarking on an aggressive growth journey to tap into the growing demand for electric scooters. To meet this demand, we are adding about 100 retail touchpoints this quarter taking our total touchpoints to 350. Along with this, we have reintroduced our entry level scooter – the 450S at a very compelling price point that appeals to a wider set of buyers. The Ather 450S at this new price makes for a strong value proposition, bringing the quality & assurance of Ather at a more accessible price point.”

The 450S, designed and built in India from scratch, comes with a battery capacity of 2.9 kWh, an IDC range of 115km, a 0–40 acceleration of 3.9 sec, and a top speed of 90 km/h. It has a 7-inch DeepViewTM Display with a 1000:1 contrast ratio, industry-first auto-brightness, and 18-segment characters providing superior readability any time of the day.

Also, a safety feature like FallSafe™ can detect changes in the scooter’s speed, orientation, and acceleration when the rider is about to fall over. Further, Ather brings the ‘Emergency Stop Signal’, a regulation in Europe, to the Indian market and coasting regen, which improves range by up to 7%. As a first in the industry, the  inbox-to-scooter feature delivers destination addresses from other apps (like WhatsApp/ Telegram/Instagram DM etc.) directly to the Ather dashboard via the Ather app. 

450S buyers also have the option to choose the Pro Pack over the core configuration, which unlocks Ride Assist, Ather battery protect, AtherStack updates, and Ather Connect (free for 3 years) at an additional cost of INR 10,000.

Ather also provides a Battery Protect that extends battery warranty to 5 years/60,000 kms. This industry first warranty program not only covers battery failures but also guarantees a minimum of 70% state-of-health for the battery at the end of 5 years.

With this, owners will not need to worry about the scooter’s range dropping after a few years of usage and will be able to extract maximum performance, ride after ride. This reaffirms faith in our battery’s performance and longevity for all Ather owners. The 450X comes now with Ather Battery Protect included, making it a 3 +2 years coverage. Ather 450 Plus customers can purchase this additional 2 year warranty for INR 6,999.

Ather Energy has one of the largest two-wheeler fast charging networks in India. Currently, there are more than 1700 Ather Grids, fast charging stations across 140+ cities, and the company plans to install a total of 2500 Ather Grids by March 2024.

WhatsApp launches ‘Check the Facts’ campaign to educate users on how to fight misinformation 

Telugu super news,Delhi,November 28th, 2023: WhatsApp has launched an integrated safety campaign ‘Check the Facts’ in an effort to drive user-awareness around WhatsApp’s safety features and promote digital best practices that help prevent the spread of misinformation on the platform and empower people to take control of their messaging experience.

The month-long campaign highlights WhatsApp’s in-built product features and safety tools like block and report, forward labels that equip users to spot misinformation and prevent its spread further, and encourages people to verify information that sounds suspicious or inaccurate via fact-checking organizations on WhatsApp Channels. More details on the safety campaign can be found here: https://blog.whatsapp.com/check-the-facts 

While there is no single action that can help prevent the spread of misinformation and fake news online, WhatsApp’s ‘Check the Facts’ campaign serves as a simple safety guide to fight misinformation. 

1. Understand when a message is forwarded

WhatsApp has created a label for all forwarded messages and limits the number of times you can forward messages as a way to encourage users to reconsider before sharing. Paying careful attention to messages with “forward labels” also helps slow down the spread of rumours, viral messages, and fake news. For example, if a message has a double arrow icon and is labeled “forwarded many times,” it can only be forwarded to one chat at a time. If a message has a “forwarded label” you can forward it to up to five chats and only one group at a time. 

2. Block and report suspicious accounts

WhatsApp provides a simple way for users to block accounts and make reports to WhatsApp if they encounter problematic messages, including those spreading misinformation. If you receive a message from an unknown sender, WhatsApp provides users the option to block them, with additional details such as groups in common, along with safety tools if you need to take action.

3. Follow fact-checking organization on WhatsApp Channels for accurate information

WhatsApp encourages users to double-check information that sounds suspicious or inaccurate – this is key to preventing the spread of misinformation. WhatsApp has partnered with 10 independent fact-checking organizations that help users to verify information in 13 languages. People can follow dedicated fact-checking organizations on WhatsApp Channels to receive verified and accurate updates. The fact-checking channels available include: 

  1. Boom Fact-Check
  2. Fact Crescendo 
  3. Factly  
  4. India Today Fact Check 
  5. Newschecker 
  6. NewsMobile
