What to watch
- QIB subscription materially accelerates on the final bidding day.
- Overall issue subscription rises above 1x, indicating the offering is fully covered.
- Grey-market premium strengthens or weakens sharply ahead of allotment.
- Anchor investor quality and allocation concentration become public.
- Management provides revised guidance on unit economics, market share, production capacity, or EBITDA breakeven.
- Ather's listing price and first-week trading volume diverge materially from the issue price.
- Monitor final-day subscription by QIB, NII/HNI, and employee categories rather than retail demand alone.
- Track grey-market premium and any changes in analyst commentary on issue valuation, losses, and path to profitability.
- Compare final subscription and expected listing performance with recent Indian consumer-tech and EV IPOs.
- Watch for post-IPO use-of-proceeds updates, especially manufacturing expansion, R&D spending, charging infrastructure, and debt reduction.
- Assess whether stronger public-market interest improves fundraising conditions for EV suppliers, battery firms, charging networks, and rival two-wheeler startups.
