What to watch

- Overall subscription crossing 1x, especially through institutional demand.
- A widening or collapsing grey-market premium before allotment.
- Issue-price valuation versus Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, TVS Motor and Ola Electric benchmarks.
- Post-listing delivery volumes, retail holding concentration and first-week price stability.
- Monthly Ather registrations, market-share trends and gross-margin disclosures after listing.
- Track final-day subscription by QIB, NII and employee categories rather than retail demand alone.
- Watch grey-market premium and anchor-investor participation for indications of expected listing performance.
- Compare issue valuation with listed two-wheeler peers and EV-market growth assumptions.
- Monitor whether rival EV makers and auto dealers increase promotional activity around Ather's public-market visibility.
- Assess whether a successful close reopens the IPO pipeline for consumer-tech, mobility and EV supply-chain companies.
