  • Post-listing trading volume, closing price relative to issue price and broader Indian EV-equity market conditions.
  • Ather and its book-running banks will intensify institutional outreach and communicate growth, margin-improvement and manufacturing-scale milestones.
  • Investors will compare subscription by QIB, retail and non-institutional categories rather than relying on the aggregate figure.

  • Deal participants will focus on price-band discipline and allocation quality if demand remains measured through the final bidding session.
