What to watch
- Retail tranche crosses 1x subscription before the final day.
- Overall issue becomes fully subscribed, led by QIB demand.
- A material rise or decline in grey-market premium.
- Subscription concentration in the final hours rather than broad early participation.
- Any revised EV subsidy, charging-policy, battery-cost or competitor-pricing developments.
- Monitor day-by-day retail subscription acceleration versus the 63% Day-1 base.
- Track QIB and non-institutional subscription, especially final-day anchor-to-QIB conversion.
- Watch grey-market premium trends and broker commentary for implied listing expectations.
- Assess whether strong IPO interest redirects retail capital from listed EV, auto-component and two-wheeler names.
- Watch management communication on profitability path, production expansion, dealer footprint and use of proceeds.
