What happened

Ather Energy’s retail investor portion was subscribed 63% on the first day of its IPO bidding on April 28, 2025.

Key facts

  • 63%
  • April 28, 2025

Why this matters

Ather’s early retail IPO demand supports market visibility for the EV category, though the incomplete Day 1 subscription indicates investors remain selective on growth-company valuations.

What to watch

  • Final-day retail subscription exceeding 2x.
  • QIB portion becoming materially oversubscribed on the final day.
  • A rising or collapsing grey-market premium before allotment.
  • IPO pricing at the upper end of the range versus any revision or extension.
  • Post-listing monthly scooter registrations, market-share trends, and gross-margin improvement.
  • Monitor day-by-day subscription across QIB, NII, employee, and retail categories.
  • Assess grey-market-premium direction versus the IPO price band as an informal sentiment indicator.
  • Compare valuation and loss trajectory with listed EV and auto peers, especially Ola Electric and traditional two-wheeler manufacturers.
  • Watch for dealer-network, vehicle-volume, battery-cost, and charging-infrastructure disclosures that affect post-listing earnings expectations.
