- Competitive EV discounting, battery-cost movements and policy changes affecting two-wheeler incentives.
- Monitor final-day category-wise subscription, especially QIB and non-institutional investor demand.
- Track grey-market premium and any changes in analyst commentary on valuation, losses and use of proceeds.
