Sri Lanka: Ather Energy opens its first Experience Centre in Colombo

This marks the company’s entry into its second international market, following its debut in Nepal in November 2023.

At the Experience Centre, Sri Lankan customers can test ride and purchase Ather’s flagship scooter, the Ather 450X, which caters to the performance segment.

The Experience Centre was opened in collaboration with Evolution Auto Pvt. Ltd., a joint venture between Sensei Capital Partners, Atman Group, and Sino Lanka Private Limited.

"As Ather’s national distributor in Sri Lanka, Evolution Auto will not only manage sales, service operations, and network expansion, but will also be establishing Ather grid fast-charging stations across the country," Ather said in a statement.

Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy Limited, shared, “ The EV industry in Sri Lanka is still in its nascent stages, and we are excited to be a part of their journey as the industry continues to grow."

He said: "Sri Lanka is an important part of our global expansion plans and in the following years, we will continue to seek opportunities in other international markets.”

Dhiren Kundanmal, Director, Evolution Auto Pvt. Ltd., said, “We are thrilled to open the first Ather Experience Centre in the heart of Colombo. This center symbolizes our commitment to innovation and sustainability in mobility."
