What to watch
- Final-day retail subscription materially above 2x
- Strong QIB oversubscription and anchor-investor quality
- Grey-market premium widening or narrowing before allotment
- Management guidance on profitability, production capacity and dealership expansion
- Changes in EV subsidies, financing availability or competitive price cuts
- Post-listing delivery, market-share and margin disclosures
- Track category-wise subscription daily, especially QIB and NII demand, because institutional participation will matter more than the Day 1 retail signal for pricing confidence.
- Monitor grey-market premium and any changes in broker recommendations for near-term listing sentiment.
- Assess use of IPO proceeds, cash-burn trajectory, gross-margin improvement and expansion plans for evidence that public capital can accelerate a path toward profitability.
- Compare valuation and delivery growth assumptions with listed two-wheeler and EV peers, including Ola Electric, Bajaj Auto, TVS Motor and Hero MotoCorp.
