What to watch
- QIB subscription multiple and late-book acceleration
- Overall issue subscription at close
- Anchor investor quality and any concentration in demand
- Grey-market premium direction before listing
- Listing-day turnover, closing price versus issue price, and delivery volumes
- Post-listing announcements on capacity, distribution, battery supply, subsidies, and EV demand
- Monitor final-day subscription by qualified institutional buyers, non-institutional investors, and retail investors rather than headline subscription alone.
- Watch grey-market and unofficial premium trends for changes in expected listing sentiment.
- Assess pricing versus listed EV peers, Ather's market-share trajectory, margins, cash burn, and planned use of proceeds.
- Track whether stronger IPO demand reopens the Indian EV funding window for suppliers, charging firms, and competing two-wheeler manufacturers.
