- Benchmark equity indices or new-issue sentiment weakening during the bookbuild.
- Large disclosed anchor investors or notable institutional participation.

- Track daily category-wise subscription, especially QIB demand in the final two bidding days.
- Monitor grey-market premium and any changes in broader Indian equity-market risk appetite.
- Assess whether retail demand converts into sustained applications rather than early indicative participation.
- Watch management and lead-bank messaging around profitability path, customer concentration and competitive positioning.
