Speaking on the strong monthly sales, Ravneet S. Phokela, Chief Business Officer - Ather Energy, said, "After a strong start to the financial year, we have registered the highest ever monthly sales figures, delivering 3,779 scooters in April 2022 registering a growth of 255 per cent over the same month last year. Again, the number of deliveries is a fraction of the pre-orders due to unprecedented challenges on the supply chain side including components shortage. The high demand for our scooters reiterates the fact that consumers have strong faith in our well-engineered, reliable and safe 450X and 450 Plus scooters. We also continue our efforts to create a favourable EV ecosystem by partnering with Statiq and Park+ to enhance charging infrastructure across the country."
