Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Agarwal said, "The importance of today, this moment is finally sinking in. It felt like a process till yesterday - where we did our work and put in our time and made India one of the largest EV 2W markets. Our hard work has paid off and the world recognises that."

He said the destination is far ahead and "we didn't come this far, to just come this far".

The company's market valuation stands at ₹40,226.7 crore.

The public offer, the first by an electric vehicle maker, had a fresh issue of up to ₹5,500 crore and an Offer-for-Sale (OFS) of up to 8,49,41,997 equity shares.
