What would create more value over the long term?
Hero scaling Vida independently?
Or Hero eventually integrating more deeply with Ather?

HERO MOTOCORP HAS NOW PUT THE MONEY BEHIND THE ATHER STORY.
Hero bought about 3.01% of Ather Energy from the Government of Singapore.
Deal value: ~₹1,758 Cr
Deal price: ~₹1,480/share
Hero’s fully diluted stake is expected to rise to around 32.8%.
This increasingly raises a strategic question.
Hero already has its own EV brand, Vida.
Yet it keeps increasing its economic exposure to Ather.
My interpretation: Ather is becoming too important to Hero’s EV strategy to view as just another portfolio investment.
Jio plans to issue up to 27 crore fresh shares, roughly 2.9% of its post-issue equity.
A large portion of the proceeds is expected to go toward repayment/prepayment of Reliance Jio Infocomm borrowings.

🚨 INDIA’S BIGGEST IPO MAY BE GETTING CLOSER
Jio Platforms has received SEBI’s observation letter for its proposed IPO.
Potential issue size: ~₹37,700 crore
That could make it larger than every previous Indian IPO.
The interesting bit: the fund raise itself is almost 90% of FY26 revenue.
That’s a serious amount of fresh capital for a company of this size.

A demerger allows the market to value each independently.
But remember:
Demerger ≠ automatic value creation.
Post-listing valuations + earnings of both businesses will decide that.
