Hero Motors IPO offer structure

Fresh issue 56% Offer for sale 44%

Total: ₹1,000 cr. Fresh issue proceeds go to the company; OFS proceeds go to selling shareholders.

Issue size and split come from a public aggregator rather than the exchange, cross-checked against a second one. The offer document states the offer-for-sale as a share count against a blank amount, so it cannot be read from the document itself.

Sources & method

Subscription and issue data come from the NSE and BSE exchange feeds, with the third-party aggregator, clearly labelled, where an exchange feed is unreachable. DRHP analysis is extracted from the offer document itself, every figure cited to its page. Each figure on the page carries its source and its timestamp.

Grey-market premium (GMP) is unregulated.

Every GMP figure is a self-reported grey-market estimate. No exchange, regulator or clearing body records or audits it, and there is no settlement guarantee or recourse. Shown for context only; never decide on GMP alone. New to GMP? The 30-second explainer → Has GMP actually been right? →

How often do these actually open above the issue price?

Of the 505 mainboard IPOs that have listed on the NSE since 2003, 359 (71%) opened above their issue price, at a median of +10%. That is the segment's own record, not a forecast for this issue.
