What to watch
- Final-day subscription split across QIB, NII/HNI, retail and employee categories.
- Anchor-book quality and concentration of long-only institutional investors.
- Number of bids at or above the upper price band.
- Grey-market premium direction before allotment and listing.
- Peer EV and two-wheeler valuation moves, especially following sales, margin or subsidy-policy updates.
- Ather's quarterly delivery growth, gross margin, operating cash burn and charging-network utilization after listing.
- Focus investor outreach on gross-margin trajectory, cash-use plans, manufacturing scale and charging-network monetization.
- Use any final-day QIB demand to support confidence in the price band and expected listing stability.
- Prepare post-listing communication around unit economics, market-share retention, subsidy exposure and competitive pressure from legacy two-wheeler makers.
- Moderate discretionary expansion spending if IPO demand signals tighter public-market tolerance for EV losses.
