Ather Energy submitted its Q4 FY26 monitoring agency report for its Rs. 2,626 crore IPO (April 2025). CARE Ratings confirmed all IPO proceeds are being utilized as per the Offer Document with no material deviations. Of the total IPO proceeds, Rs. 1,008.93 crore (38.4%) has been utilized as of March 31, 2026, leaving Rs. 1,617.07 crore unutilized, primarily parked in fixed deposits with Axis Bank, Kotak Bank, and IDFC Bank earning ~Rs. 91 crore in interest. Factory 3.0 construction in Maharashtra (Rs. 927.20 crore allocation) is 21% complete with 67% of purchase orders issued; however, production commencement has shifted from July 2026 to October 2026 because environmental clearance approval was required (not originally anticipated). Overall project completion remains March 2027. Marketing spend reached Rs. 128.03 crore for FY26 (85%+ of budget), with remaining 15% expected in FY27. Issue expenses came in lower than estimated, allowing Rs. 6.6 crore to be reallocated to General Corporate Purposes.
The filing shows IPO funds being deployed on track with no misuse. The Factory 3.0 delay of ~3 months for production start is a minor setback but overall timelines remain intact. Unutilized funds earning ~7% returns indicate prudent cash management.
