Can i get it in open market…?
No you can’t get it.
Then they have to develop one. They have to give choice between normal portable charger and DC fast portable charger.Whoever want any one they can pick up there choice
Ather already has developed a fast charger and it is in use at the grid points. They cost around ₹30k (missing the post where I found this) and have industrial grade requirements. Obviously bulky to transport. The requirements and the bulk makes it a bit impractical for conversion as a portable device as of now.
From a user perspective it is just an option. But from the manufacture or development perspective it includes many things. Design, validation, testing, performance and much more. Two different production lines for two different products for same purpose. Companies usually don’t do that mistake. They cannot spend time on such stuffs. This is practiced industry wide. The Intel processors i3 i5 i7 they are not different processors. They just fuse certain amount of circuits and make different variants. So it is highly likely that the users going to get Dc fast charger from ather.

There are two types of chargers at these public charging locations:
AC chargers:
For these, you can buy or make a simple convertor that’ll let you use a portable charger to top up your battery.
Check this post by Rahul to get a sense of what you’d need: Portable charger - #217 by Rahul
DC Fast charger
It’s not about changing the connector shape alone, but the public charging points are meant to be used with a higher battery voltage, which are suitable for cars and not the Ather 450 or 450X.

Something like an “alt power” too, where you still can set to the “walk” mode and push along without much strain, once out of juice.
