Ather Energy’s IPO retail investor portion was subscribed 63% on the first day of bidding.
Key facts

What to watch
- Retail subscription crossing 1x before the final day.
- Sharp final-day QIB oversubscription or weak institutional participation.
- Grey-market premium widening, flattening, or turning negative.
- Any revision in issue-price expectations, analyst valuation commentary, or disclosures on losses and cash burn.
- Post-listing price action versus issue price and trading volumes in the first week.
- Monitor daily subscription data, especially QIB and non-institutional investor participation in the final bidding sessions.
- Track grey-market premium direction as an imperfect real-time indicator of expected listing demand.
- Assess whether Ather or book-running banks emphasize growth, margin improvement, charging-network expansion, and use-of-proceeds to address valuation concerns.
- Watch rival EV two-wheeler sales, discounting, and market-share data for evidence of an intensifying competitive backdrop.
