What to watch

- New state incentives, battery-safety rules, financing rates and any changes to central EV support.

- Evidence of price cuts or rising marketing spend that would signal margin pressure.
- TVS is likely to expand EV retail points, production capacity and financing partnerships to defend its registration lead.
- Bajaj, Ather and Hero are likely to respond with refreshed mass-market models, regional dealer additions and targeted exchange or EMI offers.
