Ather Energy Limited has announced plans to venture into auto insurance distribution as part of its broader strategy to enhance the electric vehicle ownership experience. The company will incorporate a wholly owned subsidiary that will function as a corporate insurance agent, offering motor insurance products to its customer base across India.
The proposed subsidiary will partner with multiple insurance providers to distribute auto insurance policies tailored specifically for electric two-wheelers. By bringing insurance distribution in-house, Ather aims to simplify policy purchase, renewals, and servicing while improving transparency and integration with its digital ecosystem.
The initiative is expected to allow Ather to innovate around EV-specific insurance products by aligning coverage with actual vehicle usage patterns rather than traditional insurance models. This approach could lead to more relevant policy structures, improved renewal experiences, and potentially higher insurance attachment rates over time.
The company has indicated that the insurance distribution business will primarily serve its existing customer base, resulting in minimal customer acquisition costs. As a result, the venture is expected to generate steady, incremental revenue with limited capital investment, while strengthening long-term customer engagement.
Ather’s move into auto insurance forms part of its broader strategy to build a fully integrated electric mobility ecosystem. Beyond electric scooters, the company’s offerings span fast-charging infrastructure, service and retail networks, accessories, warranty products, and software-enabled services, all aimed at delivering a seamless ownership experience.
