What to watch
- Quarterly vehicle registrations and market-share movement versus TVS, Bajaj, Ather, and Hero MotoCorp.
- Sequential revenue trend, deliveries, average selling price, and discount intensity in Q2 FY27.
- Gross margin, EBITDA loss, operating cash flow, and inventory levels.
- Service complaints, recall/warranty costs, and network expansion metrics.
- New model launches, battery/manufacturing execution, and availability of consumer EV subsidies or financing incentives.
- Prioritize inventory rationalization and production alignment to avoid further working-capital pressure.
- Focus capital expenditure on service-network reliability, spare-parts availability, and high-demand models rather than broad expansion.
- Use targeted financing and regional promotions to support conversion without restarting aggressive nationwide discounting.
- Communicate a credible path from reduced losses to sustainable gross-margin improvement and cash preservation.
