What to watch
- Final-day subscription split across QIB, non-institutional and retail categories
- Anchor investor quality and extent of institutional oversubscription
- Grey-market premium and changes ahead of allotment
- Issue pricing, valuation versus listed EV and two-wheeler peers, and any revision to offer terms
- Listing-day price and volume performance
- Subsequent quarterly delivery growth, gross-margin trend, cash burn and dealer-network additions
- EV subsidy, registration and charging-infrastructure policy changes
- Ather and its bankers will intensify final-day investor outreach, emphasizing market share, premium positioning, dealer expansion and use of proceeds.
- Investors will compare the offer valuation with Ola Electric's post-listing performance, legacy two-wheeler manufacturers and Ather's path to margin improvement.
- Competitors may increase promotional spending, financing offers and model launches if IPO proceeds strengthen Ather's ability to expand distribution and production.
- A strong listing would increase pressure on Ather to demonstrate improving unit economics, supply-chain discipline and sustained demand beyond incentive-supported purchases.
