Key facts

What to watch
- QIB subscription crosses 1x or remains below issue size near close.
- Overall IPO subscription exceeds 1x, indicating full demand absorption.
- HNI/NII demand rises materially in the final hours of bidding.
- Broader equity-market volatility changes ahead of listing.
- Listing price and first-week trading hold above the issue price.
- Track category-wise subscription trends, especially QIB bids during the final bidding session.

- Assess whether anchor investor participation and grey-market indicators translate into durable institutional demand.
- Monitor management communication on path to profitability, shipment growth, and customer concentration after listing.
