What to watch

  • Government announcement on FAME-III / EMPS extension or expiry terms
  • Monthly VAHAN e2W registration share crossing or losing 15% for Ather
  • Lithium carbonate and rare-earth magnet price moves >10%
  • Ola Electric price cuts or new launch undercutting Rizta/450 series
  • Q1 FY27 results: gross margin above/below 24% and EBITDA loss trajectory
  • Analyst target revisions post the Rs 1,150 Emkay call
  • Any lock-in expiry or block deals from early investors
  • Track monthly VAHAN registration data for Ather vs Ola/TVS/Bajaj share shifts before quarterly prints
  • Model FY27 scenarios with and without EMPS/state subsidy continuation to gauge downside EPS sensitivity
  • Watch Q1 FY27 gross margin print for evidence the 25% level holds post-subsidy changes
  • Monitor Experience Centre unit economics: same-store volume per outlet as network hits 700+ (saturation risk)
  • Check insider/pre-IPO investor lock-in expiry calendar for supply overhang on the stock
  • Compare Ather charging network expansion (6,000+ points) vs competitors as a moat indicator
