What to watch
- QIB subscription crosses 1x before the final day.
- Overall subscription rises above 1x with broad participation across investor categories.
- Retail book reaches multiple-times subscription, indicating potential allocation scarcity and listing-day demand.
- Grey-market premium expands or contracts sharply.
- Anchor investor roster signals participation from long-only domestic and global institutions.
- Track category-wise subscription daily, especially QIB demand during the final two bidding sessions.
- Monitor grey-market premium and any change in the indicated issue-price narrative.
- Watch peer logistics and internet-platform valuations for read-through to investor risk appetite.
- Assess whether strong retail participation translates into leveraged HNI bidding or remains confined to small-ticket applications.
