What to watch

  • Retail tranche crossing 1x subscription before the final bidding day.
  • QIB book acceleration on the final day of the issue.
  • Grey-market premium widening or turning negative.
  • Market reaction to Ola Electric, Bajaj Auto, TVS Motor and Hero MotoCorp during the subscription window.
  • Any revised disclosures on losses, vehicle deliveries, market share, battery costs or regulatory incentives.
  • Track daily retail, HNI/NII and QIB subscription separately rather than headline subscription alone.
  • Watch grey-market premium and peer-share performance for an early read on listing expectations.
  • Assess use of proceeds, cash burn, gross-margin trajectory and dealer/network expansion plans after the offer.
  • Monitor whether stronger IPO demand improves funding access for EV two-wheeler suppliers, charging partners and rival manufacturers.
