Hi @abhishek.balaji The Ather 450 to 450x upgrade time line was pushed to June, now i am concerned that the prices of ev are going up in June i will have to pay 30k more, please help with this situation I want to upgrade but should I pay extra…?
is there a way we can book now and buy the 450x and later you will buy back our 450?. I am happy if you propose a better solution because I had opted for upgrade back in January when it was announced
Doesn’t look like this is going to happen as company will have to shell out alot, even though one needs subsidy to upgrade, with now Govt. Lowering it out, if this likely to happen they will now have to increase the prices.
Exactly that’s a good suggestion, we are ready to proceed with payment and later proceed with buyback
During a call after has confirmed the exchange program we will get a mail stating next month and exchange will be happening then month after. Sad that they couldn’t figure this before June 1st
Hi, I had called Ather customer care and they mention soon will be recieving email on Ather upgrade program, Did any one recieve email on Ather upgrade program ?
Please check the below thread
Hi @abhishek.balaji it’s already half the month of June as mentioned for 450 to 450X buyback option is announced in the month of June but haven’t received any updates on it yet, can you please confirm if this option is still there or it’s been dissolved ??
I also received mail on 3rd. June charger refund message. Till there is no update message
Not yet. Have you?
No updates yet from Ather. This is either a case of poor planning and ineffective communication or a fake publicity stunt.
I have no hope now.
(feeling let down)
oh yeah, I forgot, they pulled the same stunt when they launched 450x in 2020. Then it was COVID-19, so it got dropped, and now it’s FAME-2 policy update. they better come out with a yes or no because many are holding their scooter for an upgrade rather than selling in the market.
Hello @smridhi.kalati some update on this matter will be appreciated only few thousand customers who bought gen 1, gen 1.5
No i have been waiting since 2 months for the call / email, I don’t think so upgrade program is still there
Anyone raised ticket with customer care what did they reply regarding upgrade
I keep always keep asking on Instagram post the only reply I get since 6 months they don’t have any ETA to bring this into production and their team is working on it actively This is totally disappointed from Ather If they can’t bring into live, why would they even announce programs as such ??
I doubt that program is still on the cards after fane2 reduction.
Also buyback program for gen 2 assured amount of upto Rs 85000 within 3 years must have started by now but no news about that
They could have done this much before FAME reduction. Now, if they implement, the reduction in FAME is going to hit the buyers, because of the delay.
Technically speaking, none of the existing owners would be eligible for another FAME subsidy 
Yeah even in the event, during announcement, the expectations from owner and Ather both was that we would be using some family member to get the subsidy
