Ather is looking to expand its production capacity in the years to come with the firm’s second manufacturing plant set to become functional by year end. Now, as per a PTI report, the company has already engaged in talks with multiple state governments for the allocation of land for setting up a third manufacturing unit which will have an annual production capacity of about 15 lakh units. The company has reportedly held talks with several states including Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Telangana and Karnataka with the company expected to announce the finalised location as early as next month.
The company is reportedly looking at securing about 100 acres of land for the new manufacturing plant.
