- Magnitude of dealer discounts and finance subvention offers versus August levels.
- Steel, aluminum, precious-metal, freight and rupee-import-cost trends.
- Festive-season booking growth and demand mix between entry models, SUVs, ICE vehicles and EVs.
- Any additional Hyundai price revision before year-end, which would signal that current cost pressure was not fully offset.
- Advance September deliveries and marketing around an August booking cutoff to pull forward demand.

- Seek further localization, supplier renegotiations and mix upgrades if input-cost pressure persists into the festive period.
