What is the price of the Ather Energy Konarc?

The Konarc costs between ₹1,00,099 and ₹1,46,000 ex-showroom Delhi across 8 variants, as of September 2026. On-road price adds road tax, registration and insurance and varies by state.

What is the on-road price of the Konarc in Delhi?

Roughly ₹1.06 Lakh for the base variant in Delhi: ₹1,00,099 ex-showroom plus no road tax (electric two-wheelers are exempt in Delhi), ₹1,100 registration and about ₹5,073 insurance. This is an estimate; dealer quotes include handling and accessories.

What is the real range of the Konarc?

The certified range is 100 km. In everyday riding expect 92–100 km depending on mode, speed and load.

How much does the Konarc cost to run per month?

Charging works out to about ₹0.18 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹141 a month before servicing.

What is the EMI for the Konarc?

With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹3,170 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.

How long does the Konarc take to charge?

About 4 hours for a full charge from a home socket, with fast charging available for quicker top-ups.

Konarc or Chetak C2501: which is better?

The Chetak C2501 is ₹4,500 more expensive to start and more efficient at 113 km against 100 km. Pick the Konarc for first electric scooter, the Chetak C2501 for short city commutes. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.

Which bikes are cheaper than the Konarc?

Among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed, the S1 X (₹89,999), the QC1 (₹90,708), the S1 Z (₹79,999) start lower.

Is the Konarc's 10-year battery warranty as good as it sounds?

On paper it is longer than anything else in this class, which should ease worries about replacement cost, though how Ather handles claims and pro-rated coverage over a decade is untested since the model has only recently launched.

Can the Konarc handle a daily two-up commute?

The 1352mm wheelbase suggests reasonable stability for two riders at low speed, but with drum brakes and a 70kmph cap, keep two-up rides to short, unhurried city trips rather than anything brisk.

In short

The Konarc is Ather's new budget scooter for 2026, priced from ₹1,00,099 with a 2.1 kWh pack and a claimed 100km range that real-world figures of 92-100km largely back up. It targets buyers wanting Ather's software polish without the 450's price tag, though drum brakes on both wheels and a 70kmph top speed mark it as strictly city-only.

Battery: 2.1 kWh
Certified range: 100 km
Full charge: 4 hrs
Top speed: 70 km/h

Price and variants

Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.

Ex-showroom Delhi, the Konarc range runs from ₹1,00,099 (S 2.1 kWh Majestic Grey) to ₹1,46,000 (S 3.5 kWh Celestial Gold - Ather Stack Pro) across 8 variants.

That makes it priced 4th lowest among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Orbiter (₹2,360 more) and the Chetak C2501 (₹4,500 more).

On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹1.06 Lakh for the base variant once registration and five-year insurance are added (Delhi waives road tax on electric two-wheelers). Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.

Variant	Ex-showroom	Rough EMI
S 2.1 kWh Majestic Grey	₹1,00,099	₹3,170/mo
S 2.1 kWh Majestic Grey - Ather Stack Pro	₹1,01,902	₹3,230/mo
S 2.1 kWh Quartz White - Ather Stack Pro	₹1,02,902	₹3,260/mo
S 2.7 kWh Majestic Grey - Ather Stack Pro	₹1,21,489	₹3,850/mo
S 2.7 kWh Celestial Gold - Ather Stack Pro	₹1,23,489	₹3,920/mo
S 3.5 kWh Majestic Grey - Ather Stack Pro	₹1,44,000	₹4,570/mo
S 3.5 kWh Majestic Grey	₹1,44,857	₹4,590/mo
S 3.5 kWh Celestial Gold - Ather Stack Pro	₹1,46,000	₹4,630/mo

Range and charging

Expect 92–100 km from the Konarc in everyday use against a certified IDC range of 100 km. The 4% gap is smaller than most rivals manage.

Among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed it ranks 20th for range, 47 km below the group average of 147 km.

Running cost per month and five-year ownership estimate

Motor and ride

The Konarc's 4 kW motor is the 18rd most powerful among the 21 electric scooters here and takes it to a top speed of 70 km/h, which limits it to city use.

A full charge from a home socket takes about 4 hours, and it supports fast charging for a quicker top-up on the road. The battery is fixed, so you need a plug where the scooter parks.

Chassis hardware includes a combi-brake system, with a drum, 130 mm up front and drum, 130 mm at the rear.

Our review

Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.

Verdict

The Konarc is Ather trying to win the budget scooter fight it has mostly sat out until now. A sub-₹1.1 lakh starting price, the brand's usual TFT console and app, and a genuinely long battery warranty make the pitch clear: get Ather's software polish without paying 450-series money. The catch is a spec sheet trimmed down to match the price.

Riding it every day

At a 70kmph top speed and with drum brakes on both ends, the Konarc is built for slow, dense city traffic rather than open roads. The claimed 100km range and reported real-world 92-100km are close enough that most owners should not feel misled by the brochure number, which matters more than raw range in daily use. The longer 1352mm wheelbase should help it feel settled over speed breakers and broken city roads.

What to know before buying

The 10-year, 100,000km battery warranty is the headline reason to consider the Konarc over rivals, effectively removing the biggest long-term worry with any EV. But drum brakes at both ends and no mention of regenerative braking put it a notch below Ather's own 450S on ride quality and stopping confidence. Since this is a freshly launched model, service network depth and wait times are worth checking directly with your local Ather dealer.

Who should buy it

Buyers wanting a first electric scooter with a trusted brand's software and a genuinely long battery warranty, without stretching to premium pricing, should shortlist the Konarc. Anyone wanting a disc brake, cruise control, or higher top speed should look at the 450S or Rizta instead.

On safety kit the Konarc has combi-brake (cbs), side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. There is no ABS, which is legal at this engine size but worth knowing before a wet-weather ride.

Against Chetak C2501, Rizta or Orbiter, it gets hazard lamps and colour tft console that most rivals skip.

What it lacks: front disc brake, tubeless tyres, rear monoshock and cruise control, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.

It is offered in 4 colours: Majestic Grey, Quartz White, Lumen Copper and Celestial Gold. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Warranty, service and ownership

Standard warranty is 10 years, unlimited km. The battery is covered separately for 10 years or 1,00,000 km; read the degradation clause, since most policies only replace a pack that drops below 70% capacity.

Service reach is the weak point: Ather Energy has about 300 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country. Confirm there is one within reach before you sign.

The Konarc launched in 2026, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
