What to watch
- Day 3 subscription crossing 1x, especially through QIB demand.
- Retail subscription remaining below the overall book despite final-day marketing.
- Any price-band, allocation, anchor-book or issue-timing changes.
- Grey-market premium turning persistently negative or widening materially ahead of listing.
- Post-listing commentary on EV two-wheeler demand, incentive policy, battery costs and dealer expansion.
- Competitor earnings disclosures showing price cuts, elevated incentives or slower premium-electric scooter sales.
- Monitor final-day subscription by QIB, NII and retail categories rather than the aggregate headline.
- Assess whether the issue is fully subscribed without major last-hour concentration in institutional bids.
- Track grey-market and expected listing-premium indicators for evidence of valuation support or downside risk.
- Watch management commentary on use of proceeds, cash burn, capacity expansion and competitive response to Ola Electric, TVS, Bajaj and Hero MotoCorp.
- Expect competitors to use any weak listing sentiment to emphasize profitability, distribution scale and lower execution risk.
