Key facts
- 28% subscribed by Day 2

Why this matters
The split between retail enthusiasm and weak overall subscription suggests Ather’s brand equity is stronger than current capital-market validation, warranting caution in valuation benchmarking and partnership discussions.
What to watch
- QIB subscription acceleration on the final bidding day
- NII subscription crossing 1x
- Any price-band revision, extension, or anchor-investor disclosures
- Grey-market premium trend versus issue price
- Management disclosures on losses, EBITDA trajectory, market share and planned use of proceeds
- Broader IPO-market performance and listed EV-peer price moves
- Track daily QIB, NII and employee-category subscription changes through issue close.
- Assess any anchor-book quality, institutional investor mix and price-band commentary.
- Compare implied valuation with listed EV and two-wheeler peers, especially profitability and unit-economics benchmarks.
- Prepare for elevated retail allocation interest but avoid inferring listing gains from retail subscription alone.
