Ather Energy Limited, India’s leading electric two-wheeler manufacturer,
today announced the launch of the Rizta in Sri Lanka at the Colombo Motor Show 2025. The launch, in
partnership with Evolution Auto Pvt. Ltd, Ather’s authorized distributor in Sri Lanka, marks the next step
in Ather’s international growth strategy, focused on expanding its product portfolio and strengthening its
ecosystem in key international markets.
Ather entered Sri Lanka in December 2024 with the Ather 450X and has since established a growing
footprint with 40 Experience Centers, as on date, operated by Evolution Auto Pvt. Ltd. Moreover, with an
aim to establish the ecosystem around EVs, Ather has also installed Ather Grid fast chargers, to support
convenient and reliable EV ownership in the country.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy Limited,
said, “Since entering Sri Lanka last year, it has quickly become a growing market for us, and expanding
our portfolio here with the Rizta felt like the natural next step. The Rizta has seen strong acceptance in
India for over a year and more recently in Nepal, and we believe it is well-suited for the needs of Sri Lankan
riders as well. Its focus on safety and connected capabilities makes it a practical choice for everyday use.
With this launch, we aim to deepen our presence in Sri Lanka and continue strengthening the EV ecosystem
there.”
Backed by the positive response to the Ather 450 line up in Sri Lanka, Ather has now introduced the Rizta
in the picturesque country. The Rizta has a large and comfortable seat and offers a 34L under-seat storage
capacity. It also has a floorboard that provides the rider with ample leg space. Additionally, the Rizta comes
with features like SkidControl™, which are aimed at enhancing the safety of the rider. It comes with a 7-
inch TFT display dashboard and provides a connected experience with features such as Google Maps
navigation and music and call control (available with Rizta Z).
Ather entered its first international market, Nepal, in November 2023, where it has expanded to 9
Experience Centres and 7 Service Centres across the country. In December 2024, Ather entered its second
international market Sri Lanka, where it has also strategically expanded its presence. In India, Ather had a
retail network of 524 Experience Centres and 3,643 Ather grid fast-charging stations, as of 30th September
2025.
