Resurfacing a June 2025 move, HDFC Securities' initiation of Buy coverage on Ather Energy with an estimated 31% upside is back in focus. The EV maker also faces near-term supply-chain watchpoints from China's rare-earth export curbs, while shares released after lock-in expiry add a market-liquidity factor.
