Ya their bottleneck is definitely not production anymore. It’s everything after that. From charger installation. Registration, the HSRP plates.

Yes agree

I wish they send the payment mail a bit late . Aug last week Tamil Nadu govt may announce EV policy. That may reduce the price of ather by another 5k.

Suraj_madhu · August 20, 2019, 2:10pm

Maybe that’s why ather is delaying it themselves. They did the same for th GST cuts for Bangalore.

Thats good to hear bro

gnavinkmr · August 29, 2019, 6:18pm

TN govt doesn’t seem to pass the ev policy. Almost going to be end of this month…

bikerdad.13 · August 30, 2019, 5:46am

This wait for the payment window to open is agonising. September is here, almost!

Suraj_madhu · August 30, 2019, 6:20am

In Bangalore From your payment day it takes 10-15 days for delivery so i think theyll will try to delay it as much as possible till the TN ev Policy

bikerdad.13 · August 30, 2019, 8:03am

Hope the authorities dont wait for CM who is on an multi-nation onsite trip. : .

Hi @Ather.Team @Shreyas

Any idea on when will the payment window open? Because its already September now .

barath_sivaraman · September 2, 2019, 4:05am

No Idea. Also I am noting in their website that the Orders in Chennai will get Ather 1.1 version which will have a home charging Dot instead of the usual white ather POD that we saw in the showroom. Not sure if this installation cost should be borne by us. Also the total charging time is increased by an hour. Yesterday i saw in t he news paper that our Govt is drafting an EV policy and it will be out in 3 weeks. May be ather is waiting for that.

gnavinkmr · September 5, 2019, 11:43am

Hi Chennai buddies. Any ones payment window got open ?

chandruM · September 5, 2019, 11:50am

Not yet. Still no update

sathishvivek · September 5, 2019, 11:55am

Nope. Communication is not one of the strong points of Ather, I guess. The app still states the status to be that of Charger assessment which will be conducted 4-5 weeks before delivery and expected delivery to be Sep’19. The delay could be the launch of new Ather dot or they could be waiting for Govt. EV policy but shouldn’t that be communicated by now. I was wondering what were Bangalorean’s thinking when they have to wait for a whole lot more than us. This waiting is killing the interest.

yash.varma · September 5, 2019, 5:53pm

I am eagerly waiting too… I really don’t want to wait for the TN EV policy. I know every Rupee saved matters, but the wait is just excruciating. I guess we are a captive market now, so we have to wait. This would have been a big problem to Ather if a competing product existed in the market here.

barath_sivaraman · September 6, 2019, 4:57am

I contacted the customer care and was informed that payment link will open by 2nd or 3rd week of September. Going by this mail I think deliveries will not happen in September and we might have to wait for some more time.
