What to watch
- Retail subscription crossing 1x before the final bidding day
- QIB book-building momentum and anchor-investor participation
- Final overall subscription multiple versus issue size
- Grey-market premium rising or falling materially ahead of close
- EV two-wheeler sales data, Ather market-share trends and competitive discounting by Ola, TVS and Bajaj
- Post-listing guidance on cash burn, dealership expansion, new launches and profitability timeline
- Track QIB and NII subscription trends, which will be more consequential than Day 1 retail demand for overall book quality.
- Assess valuation against listed two-wheeler peers and the company’s path to gross-margin and EBITDA improvement.
- Monitor grey-market premium direction cautiously as a near-term indicator of listing-demand expectations.
- Watch whether the IPO proceeds are framed primarily as growth capital or as funding ongoing losses and capacity expansion.
