- Dealer-led discounts, low-EMI offers, exchange bonuses and changes in effective on-road prices.
- Customer reports on service appointment availability, spare-parts lead times, range performance and monsoon-related reliability.
- State or local policy changes affecting EV incentives, charging infrastructure, electricity tariffs or vehicle taxation.

- Track outlet-level bookings, conversion, delivery lead times and service turnaround to identify whether expansion is generating incremental demand or cannibalizing nearby stores.
