Key facts

What to watch
- QIB subscription acceleration in the final day of bidding.
- Overall subscription crossing 1x before the close.
- Retail quota becoming heavily oversubscribed while QIB demand remains below 1x.
- Grey-market premium widening or compressing materially.
- Broader equity-market volatility or a risk-off move during the book-building period.
- Track day-by-day subscription separately for QIB, NII/HNI and retail categories rather than relying on headline overall demand.
- Monitor grey-market premium and any change in it after QIB subscription data emerges.
- Assess whether management communication addresses profitability, cash burn, competition and use of IPO proceeds, which are likely institutional decision points.
- Watch peer logistics and new-age technology stock performance for read-through on listing appetite.
