What to watch
- QIB subscription acceleration in the final bidding session
- Overall subscription crossing 1x and the composition of incremental bids
- Grey-market premium sustaining or weakening before allotment
- Final price discovery relative to Ather's revenue growth, losses, market share, and cash-burn trajectory
- Listing-day turnover and institutional holding disclosures after allocation
- Track final-day QIB and non-institutional subscription separately from retail demand.
- Assess whether the final issue price and implied valuation leave room for a listing premium versus listed EV, auto, and new-age technology comparables.
- Monitor grey-market premium direction, anchor investor quality, and any last-mile changes in issue terms.
- Expect peer EV manufacturers and component suppliers to cite the IPO outcome as a near-term valuation and capital-raising reference point.
