What to watch
- Final subscription multiple and category split across QIB, NII/HNI, and retail investors.
- Grey-market premium and any meaningful change before allotment.
- Anchor investor quality, concentration, and lock-up-related selling risk.
- Issue price versus listed two-wheeler, auto, and EV-peer valuation multiples.
- Listing-day turnover, institutional buying, and price performance versus issue price.
- Subsequent quarterly deliveries, gross-margin trajectory, cash burn, and vehicle-finance availability.
- Investors will focus on final-day category-wise subscription, especially QIB and retail demand.
- Ather and its bankers may emphasize growth, market-share gains, charging-network expansion, and path-to-profitability during the closing push.
- Competing listed EV and two-wheeler manufacturers may be reassessed for valuation read-through if the IPO pricing or listing is weak.
- Deal activity in Indian consumer EV could become more selective if the issue fails to generate strong demand.
