It definitely is eligible. These are the same conditions for FAMEII eligibility and 450x is eligible for that. That’s why it’ll be eligible for this subsidy too. A lot of things have been written on how it’s eligible, why it’s priced the way it is. A simple search on the Forum will give you all the details.
What I don’t like about this scheme is that money will be transferred to the buyer via DBT. It means the buyer must first pay and then get the subsidy back from the Government. MH has a similar subsidy scheme of 5k or so, and getting that has not been really easy. I hope it’ll be easy in GJ. Anyway It’d have been better if this subsidy was like the FAMEII subsidy where the Government pays the Manufacturer and the buyer pays only the remaining amount.
How is Ather eligible for both the subsidies? they claim 1.71lac ex-showroom without performance upgrade right? How are they able to fit in the below 1.5 lakh category @abhishek.balaji
If you just use search feature, you’d get it. Among multiple posts by multiple members explaining how it is eligible, Here is a link to a post of mine.
Karnataka is not left out…in fact Karnataka was one of the first to remove Road taxes for BEVs (since 2016 I guess). Recently there were some amendments that increased subsidies…but it is for industry and not for end customers
Do we know specific date for the more information? I mean after which date this policy will be treat as official for Ather? I have already booked it but now waiting for official announcement to see if that will impact or no.
Reveived mail from Ather
“announced a new electric vehicle policy for Gujarat effective from July 1st, 2021. The revised incentives mean an Ather Scooter is now ₹34,500 lesser than before, and the effective ex-showroom price of the Ather 450 Plus in Ahmedabad drops from ₹1.42L to ₹1.07L. …”
what about RTO registration is it free ?
on road price for Ahmedabad ?
WOW!. This is a good ₹10k lesser than what the 450 sold for! This is an amazing deal. Anyone looking for a new scooter in Gujarat should blindly get the 450+
The battery capacity was better on the 450.
It had a 2.4kwh battery compared to 2.23kwh battery on 450+
But there are uogardes on the display os and in the cells used and both the scooters are a steal deal over there!!
I think you have to pay around 5-6k extra for insurance and some other taxes or rto
Surprised to see Ather quoting 116 km ARAI range in the ad instead of usual 85 km True range. I am seeing it for the first time in any kind of ad.
Ather was the first company to use True Range and I think no one else does even now.
Not sure if this is to have a level playing field in the media as everyone else uses ARAI range & for general public True Range may make it look like Ather range is vastly inferior than others.
GOD! Why can’t they learn?
