Firms skipping PLI tend to be more capital-disciplined: Ather Energy CEO

Businesses not availing PLI scheme tend to be more "disciplined" in capital (allocation) besides more durable in pricing and margins, Ather Energy Co-founder and CEO Tarun Mehta said on Tuesday as the shares of his company started trading on stock exchanges after a Rs 2,981-crore public float. Mehta also sounded bullish on the domestic EV industry and said that Ather was set to play a major part in the domestic premium e-two-wheeler space with plans to expand both product offerings and distribution network. The Rs 2,981-crore initial share sale had a price band of Rs 304-321 apiece and shares listed with a premium of over 2 per cent against the issue price. The initial public offering (IPO) was a combination of a fresh issue of equity shares worth Rs 2,626 crore and an offer-for-sale of 1.1 crore equity shares by promoters and other shareholders. "I think not having PLI forces the business to be very disciplined with capital. PLI is not a 20-year scheme. It's another few years left.
