- Anchor investor quality, allocation concentration and any reported demand at the top of the price band.
- Grey-market premium direction in the days before listing.
- Listing-day premium or discount, closing price and volume retention after the first week.
- Quarterly evidence of higher vehicle deliveries, gross-margin improvement, lower cash burn and reduced losses.
- Changes in electric two-wheeler incentives, financing availability, battery costs or charging-policy support.
- Monitor final-day category-wise subscription, particularly QIB participation and any late institutional book-building.
- Track the issue price versus implied valuation of listed two-wheeler peers and EV competitors.
- Watch grey-market premium and post-listing turnover for evidence of durable versus speculative demand.
