What to watch

  • Whether Greaves' national share remains above 4.5% for two consecutive months.
  • Ola Electric discounting, financing campaigns, delivery volumes and dealership additions.
  • Greaves dealer-network additions, stock availability and reported service turnaround times.
  • Festive-season E2W demand growth and any state-level subsidy, registration or financing-policy changes.
  • Increase dealer inventory and retail financing support ahead of festive demand.
  • Use the top-five ranking in dealer recruitment and local-market marketing.
  • Prioritize service capacity, spare-parts availability and delivery quality to protect conversion and repeat referrals.
  • Monitor Ola's pricing and incentive actions; deploy targeted regional promotions rather than nationwide discounting.
  • Push higher-margin accessories, warranty and financing attach rates as registrations rise.
