What to watch

  • Retail tranche crossing 1x subscription before close
  • QIB subscription strength in the final day of bidding
  • Grey-market premium widening, flattening, or turning negative
  • IPO price-band valuation relative to revenue growth and EV two-wheeler competitors
  • Updated market-share data for Ather, Ola Electric, TVS, Bajaj, and Hero MotoCorp
  • Post-listing use-of-proceeds disclosures and capex guidance
  • Monthly electric two-wheeler registration growth and dealer expansion announcements
  • Monitor day-by-day retail, non-institutional, and QIB subscription data for late-book acceleration or divergence.
  • Track grey-market premium trends and compare implied valuation with listed electric-mobility peers.
  • Assess whether IPO proceeds are directed toward manufacturing capacity, R&D, charging infrastructure, debt reduction, or dealer-network expansion.
  • Watch management commentary on unit economics, gross-margin trajectory, market-share targets, and timeline to profitability.
  • Prepare dealer and supplier demand scenarios based on whether a successful listing increases Ather’s capital access and expansion pace.
