Key facts
- Day 2
- 0.24x overall subscription
- 1.00x retail subscription

The reported split between strong retail participation and low overall subscription could signal brand resonance but restrained strategic and institutional conviction around EV economics.
What to watch
- Official daily subscription figures diverging from the reported 1.00x retail and 0.24x overall levels.
- A late rise in QIB demand or a continued sub-1x institutional book.
- Grey-market premium direction and any change in indicated listing expectations.
- Any revision to the price band, issue timing, allocation terms, or disclosed anchor book.
- New disclosures on operating losses, cash burn, market share, vehicle volumes, or competitive actions from Ola Electric, TVS, Bajaj, and Hero MotoCorp.
- Monitor official exchange subscription data by investor category, especially QIB and non-institutional participation near the close.
- Assess whether anchor investor participation, issue pricing, and valuation leave sufficient upside for secondary-market buyers.
- Track management messaging on profitability, unit economics, charging-network investment, and use of IPO proceeds.
- Compare subscription and expected listing performance with recent Indian new-economy and EV-related IPOs.
- Watch for dealer-channel, battery-supply, and subsidy-policy developments that could alter Ather's post-listing growth narrative.
