Ather Energy scooters available through CSD for Armed Forces Personnel

Ather Energy has received approval to commence sales through the Canteen Stores Department (CSD) portal, making its electric scooters available to eligible Armed Forces personnel. Sales through the CSD portal are expected to commence from September 2026.

Eight variants across Ather’s 450 and Rizta model ranges (Ather 450 Apex excluded) have been listed on the CSD platform. Ather is among the first two electric two-wheeler manufacturers in India to have its products listed on the CSD platform.

The CSD listing will give eligible Armed Forces personnel access to Ather’s 450 and Rizta ranges, along with special discounts offered by Ather on purchases made through the platform. These discounts will be available on top of the GST benefits applicable to purchases through CSD, providing an additional benefit to personnel purchasing an Ather scooter.

Ather’s 450 range is built around performance and engaging everyday riding, while Rizta is designed as a family scooter, with a focus on comfort, practicality, and everyday usability. With eight variants across the two ranges available through CSD, Armed Forces personnel will have the flexibility to choose a scooter based on their individual requirements.
