What to watch
- Final subscription split across QIB, NII and retail categories
- Anchor-investor quality, allocation concentration and grey-market premium direction
- Listing-day premium, traded volume and performance through the first month
- Monthly vehicle registrations, deliveries and market-share trends versus TVS, Bajaj, Ather and legacy OEMs
- Gross-margin trajectory, warranty/service costs, dealer expansion and inventory levels
- Progress on battery-cell manufacturing, new product launches and use-of-proceeds milestones
- Ola Electric is likely to emphasize order book, delivery ramp, service-center expansion and new-model pipeline ahead of listing.
- Management may use the post-IPO platform to advance battery-cell, manufacturing-capacity and charging/service investments.
