What to watch
- Monthly VAHAN registrations and whether market share remains above 8% for at least two to three months.
- Dealer store openings, active-dealer productivity and geographic concentration across the seven states.
- Retail-vs-wholesale dispatch divergence, dealer inventory days and discount intensity.
- Q2FY27 revenue trajectory, gross-margin movement, cash burn and working-capital requirements after the 45% Q1FY27 revenue decline.
- Terms, timing and investor reception of the proposed ₹1,500 crore capital raise.
- Service turnaround times, complaint trends, recalls and spare-parts availability.
- Gigafactory capex milestones and whether cell production meaningfully lowers battery cost or remains a cash-use risk.
- Competitive launches, financing offers and pricing moves from TVS, Bajaj, Ather and Hero MotoCorp.
- Prioritize dealer onboarding in high-EV-penetration urban clusters before broadening into lower-density markets.
- Tie dealer allocations and incentives to retail registrations, service turnaround, accessory attachment and customer satisfaction rather than wholesale dispatches.
- Use the fundraise primarily for working capital, service parts availability and high-return retail infrastructure; stage gigafactory capex against demand milestones.
- Deploy localized financing, exchange and fleet/gig-worker offers to raise conversion rates and defend against incumbent price actions.
- Publish recurring retail, service and delivery metrics to validate that market-share gains are demand-led rather than inventory-led.
