Ather has a new, more affordable electric scooter. The Ather Konarc was launched in India on 29 August 2026 at an introductory price of about Rs 99,999 (ex-showroom), with a claimed range of up to 200 km, making it the most affordable model in Ather's line-up. It brings Ather's software and build quality closer to the mass-market commuter price point.
What is the Ather Konarc
The Konarc is positioned below the Ather Rizta as the brand's new entry point. The headline numbers are the sub-Rs 1 lakh introductory price and the up to 200 km claimed range, which together target the daily commuter who wants an Ather but found the earlier models a stretch. Ather is known for a clean touchscreen dashboard, over-the-air updates and a strong fast-charging network, and the Konarc is meant to bring that experience to a lower price.
Full technical details such as battery capacity, motor power, top speed and charging time were being confirmed around launch, so treat any specific figure beyond price and claimed range as expected and not officially confirmed until Ather publishes the final spec sheet. Real-world range on any electric scooter is also usually lower than the claimed figure, depending on riding mode, load and traffic.

Price and how it compares
At about Rs 99,999 introductory, the Konarc lands right in the heart of the electric commuter segment, up against the Ola S1 range, the TVS iQube, the Bajaj Chetak and Ather's own Rizta. The claimed 200 km range is strong for the price, though buyers should compare real-world range and charging convenience, not just the sticker number. Central and state incentives can change the on-road price too, so check the latest position where you live.
| Scooter | Indicative price band | Positioning |
|---|---|---|
| Ather Konarc | From about Rs 99,999 | New affordable Ather, up to 200 km claimed |
| Ather Rizta | Higher | Family focused Ather |
| Ola S1 range | Wide band | Big-selling rival, many variants |
| TVS iQube | Similar band | Trusted brand, service reach |
| Bajaj Chetak | Similar band | Metal body, retro styling |
Whichever electric scooter you choose, the running-cost case is strong, and a few sensible accessories protect the investment. A waterproof scooter cover keeps it dry outdoors, a pair of riding gloves helps in the rain, and a helmet lock means your helmet can stay with the scooter, and a quick wipe with a microfiber towel after a wet ride keeps it looking new.
Who should buy it
If you have wanted an Ather but the price held you back, the Konarc is the model that changes that maths, especially if your daily ride is well within the claimed range. If you need the longest proven real-world range or a family-first layout, compare it against the Rizta and the established rivals before deciding. Wait for the full spec sheet and a test ride so the 200 km figure is something you have seen for yourself.
