Key facts

What to watch
- QIB subscription crossing 1x before the final day
- Overall IPO subscription reaching or failing to reach 1x by close
- Retail quota moving above 1x
- Grey-market premium widening or turning negative
- Anchor book quality and concentration
- Nifty and mid-cap market volatility during the bidding window
- Track daily category-wise subscription, especially QIB and non-institutional investor participation in the final two bidding sessions.
- Monitor grey-market premium and anchor investor disclosures for changes in implied listing sentiment.
- Assess whether competing logistics, e-commerce, and technology IPO valuations affect demand for Delhivery.
- Watch for broader equity-market risk-off moves that could reduce late-stage institutional bids.
