What to watch
- Daily category-wise subscription, especially qualified institutional buyer and non-institutional investor participation
- Anchor investor roster and allocation concentration
- Broader Indian equity-market performance and sentiment toward internet/platform IPOs
- Changes in grey-market premium, if available
- Management commentary on profitability, cash burn, competitive intensity and e-commerce demand
- Final issue-price discovery relative to listed logistics and technology peers
- Delhivery and book-running banks are likely to emphasize scale, e-commerce logistics growth, unit-economics improvement and use of IPO proceeds in investor outreach.
- Institutional investors will focus on anchor-book quality, peer valuations, loss trajectory, customer concentration and the company’s path to sustainable profitability.
- Retail brokers and media may amplify subscription updates, potentially driving additional applications near the closing day.
- Post-allotment attention will shift from subscription optics to grey-market indications, market sentiment and the strength of institutional allocation.
