What happened
Ather Energy’s IPO was subscribed 28% by the end of its second day of bidding.
Key facts
- 28% subscribed
- Day 2
Why this matters
Muted early subscription may temper comparable EV-company valuations and could create more favorable partnership, investment, or acquisition conditions across the two-wheeler ecosystem.
What to watch
- Final subscription crosses 1x, especially if QIB demand materially exceeds the base issue.
- Retail subscription remains below 1x at close.
- A sharp rise or fall in grey-market premium before allotment.
- Any revision in analyst estimates or valuation concerns after final subscription data.
- Listing-day opening price and first-week trading volume versus issue price.
- Evidence of intensified electric scooter price competition or higher customer-acquisition spending.
- Track final-day subscription by QIB, NII, and retail categories rather than the aggregate figure.
- Monitor grey-market premium changes and any IPO price-band commentary for signals on expected listing performance.
- Compare Ather’s implied valuation and revenue multiples with Ola Electric and listed auto/EV peers.
- Watch management communication on margins, production scale, charging-network spending, and the use of IPO proceeds.
- Expect competing EV brands to use any weak listing reception to sharpen discounting, financing offers, and dealer expansion.
