What to watch
- QIB subscription crossing 1x before the final day
- Overall subscription accelerating above 1x with broad participation across investor categories
- A sustained rise or decline in the grey-market premium
- Anchor investor quality and allocation concentration
- Revisions to e-commerce volume forecasts, fuel-cost outlook or logistics-sector pricing
- Listing-day price performance and first-quarter guidance after listing
- Monitor daily category-wise subscription, especially QIB and non-institutional investor demand during the final two bidding days.
- Track grey-market premium and changes in analyst commentary on valuation versus listed logistics, e-commerce and technology peers.
- Watch whether competing logistics firms accelerate fundraising, capacity additions or pricing actions in response to Delhivery's expected public-market capital base.
- Assess post-IPO use of proceeds for network expansion, acquisitions and technology investment, which could intensify competition for courier, fulfillment and last-mile delivery contracts.
