Hero MotoCorp Ather Energy Investment Reaches Rs 959.99 Crore

Hero MotoCorp Ather Energy investment has reached Rs 959.99 crore through the subscription of 76,19,047 convertible warrants issued by Ather Energy on a preferential basis. Each warrant is convertible into one equity share of Ather Energy, giving Hero MotoCorp an additional route to increase its ownership in the company.

Ather Energy allotted the warrants at an issue price of Rs 1,260 per warrant.

Hero MotoCorp’s Ather Energy Investment Structure

Under the transaction, Hero MotoCorp has paid Rs 239.99 crore, representing 25 percent of the issue price per warrant. The remaining 75 percent per warrant will become payable when Hero MotoCorp chooses to exercise the warrants and convert them into equity shares of Ather Energy. The structure allows Hero MotoCorp to make the initial payment while retaining the option to complete the conversion later. The investment strengthens the existing relationship between the two companies while preserving the terms disclosed for the preferential issuance.

The aggregate subscription amount for the 76,19,047 warrants is Rs 959.99 crore, based on the stated issue price of Rs 1,260 per warrant. The transaction was disclosed by Hero MotoCorp under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, with the company’s filing dated August 25, 2026.
