Notes

Hero Motors Limited raised ₹1,200 crore through a mainboard initial public offer.

The filing places it in Auto Components and names four promoters: Pankaj Munjal, Abhishek Munjal, Charu Munjal and OP Munjal Holdings.

The book was open from 16 September 2026 to 18 September 2026.

The price band was ₹79 to ₹84 a share, and the minimum lot is 178 shares — ₹14,952 at the top of the band.

As of the exchange's 18-Sep-2026 19:00:00 update the book was subscribed 6.66 times the shares on offer, counting bids on NSE and BSE together.

Against their reserved portions: qualified institutional buyers 1.49 times, non-institutional investors 9.86 times and retail investors 8.23 times. Those portions add up to the whole offer; the sub-categories below each one are already counted inside it.

32.57 crore shares were bid at cut-off — applications that accept whatever price the issue is finally set at rather than naming one.

Bids move in whole lots of 178 shares. The category boundaries are SEBI’s, set by the value of the application — ₹2 lakh divides retail from non-institutional, and ₹10 lakh divides the two non-institutional pools. The lot counts above are those limits converted at ₹84, not a figure the exchange publishes.

Where in the price band the bids sit
as of 18 Sept 2026, 7:00 pm IST

Every bid names a price, or accepts whatever the final price turns out to be. This shows how many shares have been bid for at each price or above it — so the bar at the top of the band counts only the bids willing to pay it.

₹79
₹80
₹81
₹82
₹83
₹84

The columns are near-identical because they are: demand falls only 0.39% between ₹79 and ₹84, so almost every bid was willing to pay the top of the band. The axis starts at zero — the flatness is the finding, not a missing scale.

Bid at cut-off (no price named)
32.57 cr

These accept whatever price the issue is finally set at, so they have no place on the price axis and are not in the chart.

Drop from ₹79 to ₹84
0.39%

How much of the demand falls away between the bottom and the top of the band.

Cumulative shares bid at or above each price in the band, from the exchange's own demand schedule. Bids placed at cut-off carry no price and are counted separately.

How the price was set
as printed in the red herring prospectus

Every offer document must set out the reasoning behind its own price: what the company earned in the years before it came to market, and what multiple of those earnings it is asking for. This is that chapter — the issuer’s argument for its price, not our assessment of it.
