In November 2023, Ather established its presence in Nepal, which marked the company’s entry into the international market.
As their national distributor, Evolution Auto Pvt Ltd will manage Ather Energy's sale and service operations in Sri Lanka. In addition, Ather will also focus on establishing a network of fast-charging infrastructure across the country, to ease the process of electric vehicle adoption and make it a hassle free experience.
Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy, said, "With the increasing cost of ownership of petrol vehicles and the economic and environmental benefits of electric vehicles, the Sri Lankan market has shown an increasing preference for EVs.

Our partnership with Evolution Auto Pvt. Ltd. will enable us to deliver the customer experience that Ather is known for, to our customers in Sri Lanka, while also focusing on setting up well networked charging infrastructure for EV users."
