What to watch
- Verified exchange data for QIB, NII and retail subscription levels
- Final-day overall subscription above or below 1x
- Any revised subscription reporting that resolves the 0.24x versus 28% discrepancy
- Grey-market premium trend before issue close and listing
- Changes in EV policy, subsidy, battery-cost or competitive-pricing news affecting valuation sentiment
- Track day-by-day category-wise subscription rather than the conflicting aggregate figures reported.
- Assess whether institutional demand improves in the final bidding sessions and whether any price-band or allocation adjustments emerge.
- Monitor grey-market premium, anchor-investor participation and peer EV-stock performance for listing-demand signals.
- Prepare for higher retail allotment disappointment and potential listing-day volatility if retail applications materially exceed the reserved tranche.
