At present, most of the smartphones sold in India are manufactured locally, barring high-end devices like the Pro models from the iPhone lineup. This is set to change with the upcoming iPhone 16 series, with the company planning on producing the<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/apple-to-manufacture-iphone-16-pro-models-in-india-soon-after-launch/articleshow/112045172.cms"> iPhone 16 Pro</a> models in India soon after the launch. It will be interesting to see if Apple reduces the prices on the iPhone 16 Pro models as they will not be subject to BCD once local production begins.

The Ather 450S, which is now priced at ₹1,09,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru) takes on the Ola S1 X+. While the Ather 450S is still slightly more expensive than the Ola S1 X+, the gap has decreased, making it important to compare the two vehicles before making a purchase. In this post, we compare the Ather 450S with the Ola S1 X+. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Ather 450S vs Ola S1 X+ price" comment="subhead" text="Ather 450S vs Ola S1 X+ price">Ather 450S vs Ola S1 X+ price</cmsannotation> The Ather 450S is priced at ₹1,09,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru). If you include the company’s battery protection plan and Pro upgrade which offers features like navigation, ride modes, OTA updates and more, the price goes up by an additional ₹10,000, taking it to ₹1,19,999. On the other hand, the Ola S1 X+ is priced at ₹1,06,779 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru) with the charger included. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Design" comment="subhead" text="Design">Design</cmsannotation> Starting with the design, the Ather 450S and the Ola S1 X+ both stand apart when compared with other petrol scooters on the road. While the Ather 450S features a sporty and sharp design. The Ola S1 Pro on the other hand features a sleeker and minimalistic design with a flat footboard. If you are looking for a scooter that will look good on the road and stand out, both the Ather and the Ola S1 offer great designs. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Performance" comment="subhead" text="Performance">Performance</cmsannotation> If you are buying an electric scooter, you are guaranteed to get much better performance when compared to similarly priced petrol scooters. Both the scooters deliver good performance. The Ather 450S is equipped with a 5.4kW PMS motor that delivers a peak torque of 22 Nm. It offers a top speed of 90 km per hour and can go from 0 to 40 km per hour in just 3.9 seconds. The Ola S1 X+ is equipped with a 6kW mid drive motor that delivers 38 Nm of peak torque. The electric scooter offers a top speed of 90 km per hour and can go from 0 to 40 km per hour in just 3.3 seconds. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Range" comment="subhead" text="Range">Range</cmsannotation> One of the most important things that you need to look at while purchasing an EV is the range as unlike ICE vehicles, you cannot immediately top up when you are running out of charge, unless your vehicle is equipped with a swappable battery. While the Ather 450S is claimed to offer a range of 115 km on a single charge, the Ola S1 X+ is claimed to offer a range of up to 151 km on a single charge. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Battery and charging time" comment="subhead" text="Battery and charging time">Battery and charging time</cmsannotation> The Ather 450S comes with a 2.9kWh battery pack and the company has claimed that the scooter can be charged from 0 to 100% in 8 hours and 36 minutes. The Ola S1 X+ on the other hand is equipped with a 3kWh battery pack and it can be fully charged in 7 hours and 24 minutes. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Features and performance" comment="subhead" text="Features and performance">Features and performance</cmsannotation> Coming to the features, the Ather 450S is equipped with a 7-inch display but most of the features offered by the scooter are available only for users who opt for the Pro upgrade. This includes the four riding modes, auto hold, turn by turn navigation, call and music control, and more. The Ola S1 X+ on the other hand features a 5-inch LCD, navigation, cruise control, three driving modes, and more.

This comes amid a slowdown in sales and soon after Ather reported a near 30% month-on-month decline in sales in December 2023. The Ather 450S electric scooter which was launched with a price tag of ₹1,29,999 (ex-showroom Bengaluru) is now available for ₹1,09,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru). The Pro Pack and the battery protection plan which was earlier priced at ₹14,000 is now available for ₹10,000. <div type="twitter" handle="atherenergy" handlename="atherenergy" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1745022425287577744"></div> <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Ather 450S specifications" comment="subhead" text="Ather 450S specifications">Ather 450S specifications</cmsannotation> The Ather 450S comes with a 7-inch DeepView LCD display which can be controlled using the switchgear.

Starting with the Ather 450X, it features a sporty and futuristic design and easily stands apart on the roads. The Ola S1 Pro comes with a sleek and stylish design. On the other hand, the TVS iQube features a more traditional design and is identical to the company’s ICE scooter, the TVS Jupiter. If you are looking for a sporty or sleek design, the Ather 450X or the Ola S1 Pro are worth considering. However, if you are looking for a simple design that flies under the radar, the TVS iQube S will be more appropriate. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Performance" comment="subhead" text="Performance">Performance</cmsannotation> If you are buying an electric scooter, you are guaranteed to get much better performance when compared to petrol scooters. All three scooters deliver good performance. The Ather 450X is equipped with a 6.2kW PMS motor that delivers a peak torque of 26 Nm. It offers a top speed of 90 km per hour and can go from 0 to 40 km per hour in just 3.3 seconds. The Ola S1 Pro is equipped with an 8.5kW mid drive IPM motor that delivers a 58 Nm of peak torque. The electric scooter offers a top speed of 116 km per hour and can go from 0 to 40 km per hour in just 2.9 seconds. Just like its design, the TVS iQube S takes a conservative approach. It is equipped with a 4.4 kW BLDC Hub motor that delivers a peak torque of 33 Nm. The scooter offers a top speed of 82 km per hour and goes from 0 to 40 km per hour in 4.2 seconds. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Range" comment="subhead" text="Range">Range</cmsannotation> The first thing that comes to mind when you think about electric scooters is the range. Unlike petrol scooters, you cannot just top-up your scooter in a minute, unless the scooter supports battery swapping. While the Ather 450X is claimed to offer a range of 146 km on a single charge, the Ola S1 Pro is claimed to offer 181 km of range and the TVS iQube S offers a range of 100 km. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Battery and charging time" comment="subhead" text="Battery and charging time">Battery and charging time</cmsannotation> <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#000000;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Scooter </td><td style="border-right:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#000000;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Charging time </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Ather 450X </td><td style="border-right:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">15 hours and 20 minutes </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Ola S1 Pro </td><td style="border-right:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">6 hours and 30 minutes </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">TVS iQube S </td><td style="border-right:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6260872500000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">5 hours and 20 minutes </td></tr></tbody></table> The Ather 450X comes with a 3.7kWh battery pack and the company has claimed that the scooter can be charged from 0 to 100% in 15 hours and 20 minutes.

The electric scooter comes with a 7-inch greyscale TFT touchscreen but does not offer 4G or Bluetooth connectivity and does not offer on-screen navigation. The Ola S1 Pro is equipped with a 7-inch colour touchscreen and is packed with features such as on-screen navigation, call support, music playback, key sharing, proximity unlock and more. The scooter also allows you to track the battery percentage using your phone. The TVS iQube S also features a 7-inch TFT screen which can be controlled using a joystick on the handlebar.

According to a TechCrunch report, citing Vanguard's filings, the investment firm has cut the worth of its shares in Ani Technologies, Ola's holding firm, by 51.6%. "The asset manager marked down the holding of its Ola shares to $25 million, from the $51.7 million purchase price years ago, the filings showed," according to the report. Vanguard had valued its Ola's shares at about $33.8 million in February this year. In May, Vanguard had slashed Ola's valuation by 35% amid global macroeconomic conditions, reducing its valuation to about $4.8 billion. Ola has raised more than $3.9 billion over the years, according to public data. IPO-bound Ola Electric has also recorded an operating loss of $136 million (roughly Rs 1,116 crore) and revenue of $335 million (roughly Rs 2,750 crore), missing its revenue goal disclosed publicly.

We strive to be the platform of choice for riders and drivers alike and continue to invest in technology and customer support to deliver an excellent experience for them," Nitish Bhushan, Head of Central Operations, Uber India and South Asia said in a statement to Business Insider India "We are committed to continually raising the bar – for ourselves, our industry, and most importantly for the people who use our services," Bhushan added. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Inflated price for old customers" comment="subhead" text="Inflated price for old customers">Inflated price for old customers</cmsannotation> Another issue that has come under the government’s scanner is surge pricing and differential pricing for old and new customers. "It appears that cab aggregators are using algorithms to lure new customers, putting old customers at a disadvantage. This is an unfair practice," Khare added. As per the regulator, cab aggregators are charging a premium to their existing customers and offering discounts to lure new customers. Differential pricing for the same location has been termed as an “unfair practice” by the regulator. Khare has added that aggregators will be called upon to reveal their algorithms and policies that are used to determine prices, cancellation charges and surge prices. The aggregators have also been asked to reveal the steps taken by them to safeguard customer’s personal data on their platforms.
