Pune to Identify Potholes Using Data From 24000 Connected Ather Scooters
Pune, October 30, 2026: Pune Municipal Corporation has signed a one-year memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Ather Energy Limited to identify road damages such as potholes, speed breakers, and rough patches to enable immediate road repair and maintenance.
All Ather scooters are connected to their company servers and data from 24000 such connected scooters will be used to build a road-health map of Pune. This will help identify patches of roads requiring immediate intervention by PMC for repair and maintenance.
Scooters travel to every corner of the city and the data generated by them w.r.t road conditions can be valuable in building a real-time database of the road patches requiring urgent repairs.
The signing of the MoU was attended by PMC Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram, along with other senior officers from PMC and Ather Energy Limited.
