We have a good bunch of consumers who have made their full payment and are awaiting clarity on the exact dates of delivery. It’s fair we provide some details on what’s happening around this.
We opened up full payments for more customers for two reasons. First, our historic trends indicate customers take a long while to arrange for finances and complete full payments. Hence the higher number. Also, we foresee a possible brief halt in production in early July for some FAME 2 related compliance and changeover. That means we have to produce more and deliver more in this month. A good problem, some would say. In fact we need more payments to come our way so we can plan the delivery plan accurately.
So what are we doing towards the deliveries? We have a lot of vehicles already (you saw pics!) and we are producing more this month. So that’s no longer an issue. The sales team is stretching hard to make sure invoicing and documentation is happening at the earliest. We are still sorting out bottlenecks on the RTO registration and charging point installation side and that’ll take a couple of more days. Once that happens, giving firmer commitments on week of delivery should be easy. The good news is that we are already planning a 100 more deliveries in the next 10 days. So some of you will hear from us by this weekend!
We understand the criticality of keeping the communication channel open in these times of flux. We will keep you posted on this forum on updates. Should you have some specific concerns, feel free to call us and we will try to resolve them. It’s the first time we are delivering vehicles at such a scale, and we will streamline the process soon so that your experience is not compromised. We are confident this will be the highest selling month for the 450.
Yes that’s correct my dad personally went to RTO to get the registration done on 27th May!
Initially we wanted the vehicle to be delivered by 29th May but because of HSRP it was postponed to 2nd June on Mass delivery date but since it was not auspicious and we were abroad postponed to June 7th…!
We were planning for a special number 6966 but instead got 6957 as the previous one was already taken 4days back and we needed a number which contains 9 and adds upto 9 and hence settled for 6957 which is equally good as well…!

Where will the HSRPs be installed? Should you guys visit RTO or Ather IBC campus or Ather Experience centre
@Shreyas, will it be possible to organize to get it installed on vehicles like mine purchased before April 1 also to get it installed? If yes, I also want one - it is okay even if it means I’ve to pay additionally for it.
