Ather Energy Q3FY26 Results
For the quarter ended December 2025, Ather Energy reported total income of Rs 995.7 crore, up 53% YoY, driven by robust volume growth and a rising contribution of non-vehicle revenue, including software subscriptions, charging, accessories, spares, and service, which rose to 14% of revenue.
This strong revenue growth was accompanied by a sharp increase in margins. Adjusted Gross Margin (AGM) reached Rs 251.3 crore in Q3 FY26, up 111% YoY, while AGM excluding incentives improved to 23%, up ~1,100 bps YoY. This was driven by Ather’s value engineering capabilities and the ability to command strong premiums, reflecting a continued focus on healthier unit economics and structurally stronger margins.
EBITDA margin narrowed significantly to (-3%), driven by better unit economics, disciplined cost management, and operating leverage as volumes scaled. Losses continued to shrink, with EBITDA loss down to Rs 29.9 crore, and the quarterly loss narrowing by 45% compared to Q2 FY26, underscoring steady progress toward profitable, sustainable growth. This improvement was driven by structural levers built over the past year, now translating into strong operating leverage and positioning the business to navigate near-term margin volatility.
Market Share Highlights
Ather Energy’s market share continued to strengthen in India’s electric two-wheeler market in Q3 FY26, with a pan-India market share of 18.8%. The festive period delivered a strong boost, with Ather recording its highest-ever monthly registrations of 30.9k units, translating to a 20% market share, highlighting robust consumer demand and growing brand preference.

The company continued to strengthen its ecosystem-led business model during the quarter. Adoption of AtherStack Pro remained strong, with 91% of customers opting for it, alongside growing usage of software-led features focused on safety, convenience, and navigation. Charging infrastructure also expanded steadily, with the Ather Grid network expanding to 4,357 fast-charging points and neighbourhood chargers across India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
Ather Energy Q3FY26 Result: Management Commentary
Tarun Mehta, Executive Director & CEO, Ather Energy, said, “Q3 has been a strong quarter for us. Robust festive demand, healthy volume growth, and improving market share together drove our best quarterly revenue and EBITDA so far. Over the past few quarters, we have stayed very focused on getting the fundamentals right by improving unit economics, margins, and operating leverage, and that effort is now clearly showing in the improvement in EBITDA. What is particularly encouraging is the strength of our ecosystem. AtherStack attach rates remain very high, and customer engagement is deepening even as our sales scale. All of this gives us confidence that the business is structurally prepared for sustainable, long-term growth.”
