Built on Ather’s new EL platform, Konarc has been engineered to offer a refined everyday riding experience, combining comfort, range, durability and ease of ownership.

Konarc is available across the S and Z product lines, with six variants offering IDC range options of up to 200 km. The Konarc will have a service interval to 10,000 km, which translates to approximately once a year for most riders, whichever is earlier. All Konarc variants are equipped with Ather’s fifth-generation BedrockTM battery, backed by a new **10-year/1,00,000 km,**whichever is earlier, warranty with a minimum 70% state of health guaranteed at the end of the coverage period. The scooter combines Ather’s technology-led approach with features designed around everyday riding, including the new Advanced Electronic Braking System (AeBSTM), MagicKey, AutoPop and AirWalkTM.
Delhi NCR continues to be an important market for Ather, with EV adoption significantly increasing from 6.27% in Q1 FY26 to 9.23% in Q1 FY27 recording 38**% year-on-year growth** (as per Vahan). To meet the growing demand, Ather now has 11 Experience Centres & 7 Service Centres in Delhi strengthening its retail and customer support network across the national capital region. The company also has 273 LECCS fast charging points in Delhi NCR, supporting the growing adoption of electric two-wheelers in the region.
Ravneet S. Phokela, CBO Ather Energy, said, “Delhi NCR is an important market in our journey towards making electric mobility more accessible to a wider set of riders. The scooter has been designed and engineered with features that matter most to buyers in this segment such as a service interval of 10,000 kms, an extended battery warranty of 10 years or 1,00,000 km (whichever is earlier) at a 70% health guarantee, a metal body, up to 200 km range, fast home charging, and a plush ride and comfortable ride with 14-inch front wheels and long travel suspensions at front and at the rear. These strong fundamentals set the Konarc up perfectly to make EV scooters mainstream in India. Furthermore, launching at a price of ₹79,999 makes this proposition even more attractive for Delhi, and should be able to kickstart that transition. We see Konarc playing an important role in strengthening our presence here and accelerating the shift towards electric mobility in the country.”
Konarc has been engineered around the realities of Indian roads, with a focus on stability, comfort and everyday usability. It features a 14-inch front alloy wheel, 12-inch rear alloy wheel, 1,352 mm wheelbase and long-travel suspension at both ends. It is also Ather’s first scooter to feature metal panels on the rear side and a steel unibody chassis, while its sequential gear-drive transmission is designed to offer smooth and near-silent power delivery.
The scooter introduces a new suite of technology-led features designed to simplify everyday riding. AeBSTM, Ather’s in-house Advanced Electronic Braking System, dynamically adjusts braking force between the front and rear wheels based on road conditions, while also using regenerative braking to enhance braking performance and stability. MagicKey enables a keyless experience with SmartWake™, automatic locking and remote scooter location. AutoPop provides convenient, hands-free access to the under-seat storage, while AirWalkTM uses mild assistive motor torque to make manually moving the scooter easier in tight parking spaces. Konarc also simplifies charging and ownership. It comes with an integrated onboard charger and charging cable, while the optional 450W offboard charger can work with the built-in 450W charger to deliver 900W through Combined Charging, reducing home charging time by up to half.
With Konarc, Ather continues to expand its product portfolio in Delhi NCR, alongside the sporty Ather 450TM Series and the popular family scooter RiztaTM. The launch in Delhi marks another step in the company’s efforts to strengthen its retail, service and charging ecosystem in the region and bring its latest electric mobility solutions to a broader set of riders.
