What to watch
- Daily category-wise subscription, especially QIB and non-institutional investor demand
- Final overall subscription multiple and any price-band revision or anchor-book details
- Grey-market premium direction ahead of allotment and listing
- Management commentary on use of proceeds, capacity expansion and profitability targets
- Monthly EV two-wheeler registrations, Ather market-share trend and competitor discounting
- Post-listing volume, lock-up dynamics and comparison of market capitalization with EV peers
- Ather and its book-running banks will emphasize subscription updates, order growth, market-share gains, charging-network expansion and path-to-profitability during the remaining bidding period.
- Retail investors may increase bids near the close if subscription data and unofficial market indicators strengthen.
- Institutional investors will scrutinize issue valuation against listed EV and auto peers, subsidy-policy exposure, battery sourcing, dealer economics and operating-loss trajectory.
- Rival electric two-wheeler makers may accelerate promotional financing, model launches and dealer expansion if Ather’s IPO strengthens its capital-raising capacity.
