What to watch
- BaaS monthly fee, per-kilometre charges, contract duration and any battery-rental escalation clauses.
- Booking mix between BaaS and battery-inclusive variants, plus cancellation rates after full payment terms are disclosed.
- Dealer-level enquiry-to-booking conversion and finance approval rates after launch pricing communication.
- Competitor EV promotions, subscription plans, buyback guarantees and price changes in the ₹15-25 lakh SUV band.
- Charging-network partnerships, home-charger installation turnaround times and early customer sentiment on range and operating cost.
- Whether August 26, 2026 deliveries begin on schedule and initial variant-wise waiting periods.
- Publish transparent battery-rental slabs, annual-kilometre assumptions, escalation terms and total-cost-of-ownership comparisons against battery-inclusive and ICE alternatives.
- Train dealers to sell BaaS as a monthly-ownership proposition, with standardized scripts for charging, battery warranty, insurance and resale-value questions.
- Use pre-delivery booking data to identify high-intent BaaS cohorts and tailor finance, home-charger, public-charging and accessory bundles.
- Protect battery-inclusive variant demand with clear positioning for high-mileage and ownership-focused buyers rather than allowing BaaS to cannibalize mix without incremental volume.
- Build delivery-readiness capacity before August 26, 2026, including charger-installation partners, battery-service support and dealer test-drive inventory.
