Electric two-wheeler maker Ather Energy has reportedly trimmed the size of its upcoming IPO and reduced its expected valuation to around ₹12,800 crore, down from the earlier ₹14,000 crore. Sources told CNBC-TV18 that the IPO size will now range between ₹2,900 crore and ₹3,200 crore ($350M–$375M), lower than the previously targeted ₹3,500 crore to ₹3,700 crore ($400M). The revision is attributed to volatile market conditions and lukewarm investor sentiment. The offering will include both fresh shares and an offer-for-sale (OFS), with some early investors expected to dilute their stakes. Hero MotoCorp, holding over 37% in Ather, is not expected to sell any shares. This marks the second time Ather has reduced its valuation expectations—it previously eyed a valuation between ₹17,000 crore and ₹20,000 crore. The IPO, which received regulatory approval in December 2024, was initially planned for early 2025 but has now been delayed further, possibly by another month. However, sources confirm Ather remains committed to going public.
