Hero Motors, the Munjal family-controlled automotive technology company, is preparing to launch its initial public offering (IPO) later this month. The company plans to raise Rs 1,000 crore through the issue, comprising a fresh issue of 7.14 crore shares worth Rs 600 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 4.76 crore shares worth Rs 400 crore by promoters O P Munjal Holdings and Hero Cycles.
The company is separate from listed two-wheeler maker Hero MotoCorp. Both businesses trace their origins to the broader Hero Group, but operate as distinct corporate entities.
