That’s what you say to invigorate fresh investor and calm the holders; also they meant that on the product not on the company itself. Edit:By product I mean 450 everything else is in separate tranche.

Weak GMP. How long till Tarun realises he has ruined the company?

i mean who is interested in a company that still produces 10 year old scooters with a washing machine motor and service costs higher than a freaking car like BYD Seal or Mahindra BE 6.

Nothing stands out about Ather except for their self-proclaimed ā€˜premium’ products and exorbitant prices.

True, I wonder what was going in their minds with this IPO pricing, no wonder there is a Weak GMP. There might be a huge price drop or Crash after they enter the market.

No of rides taken by the users of Ather EV over last 2.5 years. I can see it is steadily increasing. So, the product and sale wise they are doing good.

The market is not accepting their price of IPO?

Source: I track my rides with and it comes with ride id, which is an incremental number. The difference between two ride ids picked on 10th of every month gives this data. This morning it crossed 1,395,114,735 (~1.4 billion) rides totally.

That is also due to general volatility of the market; sentiment for risk is running low due to heavy consolidation which has affected the retail insanity to shore up any and all ipo due to listing gains and other such small greed as well as an anticipation of long winter in the market.

Ather Energy IPO Update: Subscription, Performance, and Insights (as of April 29, 2025) The Ather Energy IPO is open for subscription until April 30, 2025, and here’s a quick rundown

:bar_chart: IPO Snapshot

Price Band: ₹304–₹321 per share Issue Size: ₹2,980.73 crores (Fresh Issue: ₹2,626 crores, Offer for Sale: ₹354.73 crores) Subscription Period: April 28–30, 2025 Listing Date: May 5, 2025 (BSE & NSE) Minimum Lot: 46 shares (₹14,766 at upper band)

:chart_with_upwards_trend: Subscription Status (as of April 29, 2025, 6:54 PM IST)

The IPO is 0.3 times subscribed overall, showing low demand so far. Here’s the breakdown: Investor Category Subscription (Times) Retail Individual Investors 1.2 Non-Institutional Investors 0.28 Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB) 0 Employees 3.23 Retail is oversubscribed, showing decent interest. Employees are enthusiastic, likely due to a ₹30/share discount. QIB and NII are lagging, which could signal institutional caution.

:money_with_wings: Grey Market Premium (GMP)

GMP: ₹1.50 (as of April 29, 2025) Estimated Listing Price: ₹322.5 (~0.47% premium over ₹321) GMP has dropped from ₹20 earlier, suggesting fading hype. A flat GMP with low subscription hints at a muted listing.

:moneybag: Financial Highlights (FY 2024)

Revenue: ₹1,789.1 crores (down slightly from ₹1,801.8 crores in 2023) Net Loss: ₹1,059.7 crores (up from ₹864.5 crores in 2023) Valuation: 6x EV/Sales ratio, considered high by some analysts Key Metrics: EBITDA Margin: -36% PAT Margin: -59% Debt/Equity: 0.88 Ather’s growing losses and negative margins are raising eyebrows, especially for institutional investors.

:ballot_box: Brokerage Views

Bullish: Arihant Capital, Bajaj Capital, and others recommend applying for long-term gains, citing Ather’s EV market leadership and new launches (e.g., Ather Rizta). Bearish: Deven Choksey Research says ā€œAvoidā€ due to overvaluation. Neutral: Capital Market, SMC Global suggest caution, advising a wait-and-watch approach for secondary market entry.

:red_car: About Ather Energy

Founded in 2013, Ather is a premium electric two-wheeler maker (Ather 450, Rizta) with a vertically integrated model. It sold over 100,000 vehicles in FY24, ranking third in India’s E2W market. Strengths include the Ather Grid charging network and proprietary software, but profitability and competition remain challenges.

:thinking: Should You Apply?

Pros: Strong retail interest, long-term EV growth potential, early mover in India’s EV space. Cons: Low institutional demand, high valuation, significant losses, and flat GMP. With one day left, subscription might pick up, but the current trend suggests a lukewarm debut. Long-term investors might find value, but short-term gains look uncertain.

I was also excited before but now don’t want to invest a dime in a company where OG are not cared for feedback nor innovation if Geiger an upper hand. Now it’s all money minting only. Hope they get it soon

Not trying to vindicate Ather but unlike being a ā€œcustomerā€ of the company isn’t that what you exactly want as an ā€œinvestorā€.

If this was to happen when back in time whare they launched gen 3 with a bigger battery pack it would have made such a different not gonna lie
