What to watch

  • Monthly retail registrations versus reported wholesale dispatches, especially for iQube and other electric models.
  • EV gross-margin commentary, battery-cost trends and the scale of discounts or financing subsidies.
  • New model launches, price changes and capacity additions from Ola Electric, Ather, Bajaj, Hero MotoCorp and other rivals.
  • Government EV incentive changes, state registration policies and battery-safety regulations.
  • Dealer inventory levels, order cancellations and festival-season sell-through.
  • Export-market currency movements, import restrictions and demand trends in key international markets.
  • Expand EV dealership coverage, charging/service capability and technician training in high-density urban markets.
  • Use rising EV volumes to negotiate battery, electronics and component procurement savings while protecting contribution margins.
  • Increase finance, exchange and subscription offers to convert first-time EV buyers and reduce upfront-price barriers.
  • Prioritize export markets and three-wheeler distribution where growth is outpacing the domestic base.
  • Monitor dealer inventory days closely and calibrate wholesale shipments to retail-registration trends.
