Ather Energy profit turned positive in the September quarter of FY27: the electric scooter maker reported a consolidated net profit of about Rs 1.3 crore in Q2, against a loss of Rs 154.1 crore a year earlier, according to a 26 October 2026 funding and business roundup by StartupTalky.
Operating revenue rose 62.9% year on year to Rs 1,464.2 crore. Total income was Rs 1,527 crore, while total expenses rose 39.4% to Rs 1,526 crore. The company had already turned EBITDA positive in Q1 FY27, when it reported a loss of Rs 51.1 crore.
How Did Ather Energy Move From Loss to Profit in One Year?
The reported numbers show revenue growing much faster than costs. Revenue climbed 62.9% while total expenses grew 39.4%, which narrowed the gap between income and spending to a thin margin. The consolidated result swung from a Rs 154.1 crore loss in the year-ago quarter to a Rs 1.3 crore profit.
How Much of the Ather Energy Profit Came From Other Income?
Other income of Rs 62.7 crore helped the bottom line. Given that the net profit is only about Rs 1.3 crore, the result depends materially on this line. The roundup does not break down what the other income consisted of, so readers should not read the quarter as profit from scooter sales alone.
What Does This Mean for India’s Electric Two-Wheeler Sector?
Ather’s quarter shows that a listed Indian electric two-wheeler brand can post a positive bottom line while revenue grows at more than 60%. The source does not provide unit volumes, market share or guidance, and no analyst or management commentary on the Q2 numbers was found in the material reviewed, so this article does not speculate on sustainability.
Industry Reaction and Expert Commentary
No direct quotes from Ather management or analysts were available in the source report, and no market reaction was found at the time of writing. Readers can check the company’s stock exchange filing for the full results and management discussion.
What Happens Next?
The next indicators to watch are whether Ather can keep EBITDA positive in the December quarter, how much of its profit continues to come from other income, and how its expenses move as revenue scales. The company’s full Q2 FY27 filing will carry segment and margin detail that the roundup does not.
