What to watch

  • Final subscription multiple by investor category.
  • Anchor-book quality and concentration of institutional investors.
  • Any IPO price-band revision, extension, weak demand disclosures or underwriting support.
  • Grey-market premium trend into allotment and listing.
  • Listing-day turnover and close versus issue price.
  • Post-listing evidence of demand conversion: vehicle deliveries, market share, gross margin and cash burn.
  • Track daily retail, HNI and QIB subscription trends, especially final-day QIB demand.
  • Assess grey-market premium and any changes in issue-price sentiment without treating it as a reliable listing indicator.
  • Monitor management commentary on use of proceeds, store expansion, manufacturing capacity, battery technology and path to profitability.
  • Watch rivals' dealer incentives, product launches and financing offers for signs of defensive competitive action.
