What to watch

  • Final subscription multiple and category split between QIB, NII, retail, and employee bids.
  • Issue-price adherence, anchor-book quality, and any revision in market commentary on valuation.
  • Listing-day premium or discount versus issue price and first-week trading liquidity.
  • Subsequent quarterly delivery growth, gross-margin improvement, dealer additions, and cash-burn guidance.
  • Competitive responses from Ola Electric, TVS, Bajaj, Hero MotoCorp, and other electric two-wheeler sellers.
  • Track category-wise subscription, especially QIB participation and the final-day bidding surge.
  • Compare implied valuation with listed two-wheeler OEMs, EV-focused peers, and Ather's revenue-growth and loss trajectory.
  • Monitor grey-market premium and anchor-investor participation for indications of expected listing performance.
  • Watch whether rival EV brands alter dealer expansion, discounting, or fundraising timelines after the IPO outcome.
