Ather Energy’s board has approved a proposal to raise up to ₹2,500 crore through a combination of fundraising avenues, reflecting the company’s intention to build a strong capital base for the future. The plan includes raising up to ₹1,500 crore through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP)
While an additional ₹1,000 crore may be mobilized through routes such as rights issues, preferential allotments, foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs), or other eligible securities. By opting for multiple fundraising channels, the company is keeping its options flexible and can choose the most suitable route depending on market conditions and investor demand.
