What to watch
- QIB subscription meaningfully improves during the final two bidding days.
- Retail subscription remains materially above overall subscription.
- Grey-market premium and institutional demand indicators weaken or improve ahead of close.
- Broader Indian equity-market risk appetite and performance of recent technology/logistics listings.

- Assess anchor-book quality, valuation versus listed logistics and e-commerce peers, and updated loss-to-scale trajectory.
- Prepare for lower initial price discovery and potentially elevated post-listing volatility if QIB participation remains subdued.
- Monitor whether competitors use a weak IPO reception to pressure Delhivery on pricing, merchant acquisition, or employee retention.
