Hero Motors shares opened below their ₹84 IPO issue price on Sept. 23, at ₹82 on the NSE and ₹82.10 on the BSE, but later rose more than 17%. The stock extended its rally on Sept. 24, climbing as much as 19% to ₹116.80 on the BSE, or about 39% above the issue price, amid heavy trading while the broader market declined. The ₹1,000 crore IPO, which raised approximately $104.2 million, was subscribed 6.66 times and comprised a ₹600 crore fresh issue and a ₹400 crore offer for sale. Hero Motors plans to use the fresh proceeds to repay ₹190 crore of debt, spend ₹200 crore on capacity expansion at its Gautam Buddha Nagar facility, and pursue acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The company supplies engineered powertrain, transmission, alloy and metallic components to global and domestic automakers, including BMW, Ducati and Enviolo, and is pursuing opportunities in electric mobility and e-bike powertrains.
