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.
