- Grey-market premium holds or improves after final subscription data.
- Comparable listed EV and two-wheeler stocks sustain positive trading sentiment.
- Post-listing disclosures show delivery growth, margin improvement and controlled cash burn.
- Monitor final-day QIB and HNI subscription multiples versus retail demand.
- Watch anchor-investor participation and allocation quality for institutional validation.

- Assess use-of-proceeds milestones, including manufacturing expansion, R&D and debt reduction, as post-listing execution markers.
