What to watch
- Final-day total subscription and segment-wise QIB, NII/HNI and retail participation.
- Grey-market premium and any change in sentiment before allotment.
- Issue price relative to Ather's revenue, losses and listed EV/two-wheeler peer multiples.
- Listing-day premium or discount, trading volumes and institutional holding disclosures.
- Monthly electric two-wheeler registration trends and Ather's share versus Ola Electric, TVS, Bajaj and Hero MotoCorp.
- Evidence of margin improvement, reduced cash burn, new model demand and dealer-network productivity after listing.
- Intensify final-day investor outreach focused on unit economics, gross-margin trajectory, market-share gains and use of proceeds.
- Monitor and, if necessary, reinforce price-band support through anchor and institutional investor engagement.
- Use IPO visibility to accelerate dealer onboarding, charging-network partnerships and customer-financing tie-ups.
- Prepare post-listing communications around quarterly delivery growth, cash burn, capacity utilization and competitive differentiation.
