What to watch
- Final subscription multiple and the QIB share of bids.
- Anchor book composition and participation by long-only domestic institutions.
- Grey-market premium trend during the final bidding days.
- Issue-price valuation versus peers and any revision in offer price band.
- Management guidance on losses, unit economics, market share, dealer expansion, and capex.
- Broader Indian IPO-market risk appetite and listed EV/auto stock performance.
- Track final-day QIB, NII/HNI, and employee subscription separately from retail demand.
- Compare implied valuation and issue price with listed two-wheeler peers, especially EV growth, margins, and profitability milestones.
- Monitor grey-market premium and anchor-investor quality for indicators of listing-day sentiment.
- Assess whether IPO proceeds materially improve manufacturing scale, retail expansion, charging infrastructure, and balance-sheet runway.
