The offering comprises a fresh issue of 1.61\u202fcrore equity shares valued at roughly Rs\u202f1,400\u202fcrore, together with an Offer for Sale (OFS) of 1.91\u202fcrore shares amounting to Rs\u202f1,666.89\u202fcrore. The OFS will see BC Asia Investments XV Ltd. divesting shares worth close to Rs\u202f1,395\u202fcrore, while Mangalam Capital Pvt. Ltd. will sell holdings valued at about Rs\u202f272\u202fcrore.<\/p>\n<h2>Pricing, subscription window and listing timeline<\/h2>\n<p>The company set the IPO price band between Rs\u202f829 and Rs\u202f871 per share. Investors have three days to place orders, after which the basis of allotment is expected to be finalized on August 13. If the allocation proceeds as planned, Dhoot Transmission\u2019s shares could debut on both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on August 17.<\/p>\n<h2>Grey\u2011market premium points to potential upside<\/h2>\n<p>Ahead of the opening, the issue has attracted a grey\u2011market premium (GMP) of approximately Rs\u202f259 per share. That premium translates to an implied listing price near Rs\u202f1,130, roughly a 30\u202fpercent premium over the top of the price band. Market participants are cautioned that GMP is an unofficial metric and may change before the actual listing, and it does not guarantee the final trading price or post\u2011listing returns.<\/p>\n<h2>Anchor investors and capital raise<\/h2>\n<p>On August 7, the company secured commitments from 72 anchor investors, raising Rs\u202f918.27\u202fcrore by allocating 1,05,42,657 equity shares at the upper price of Rs\u202f871. Each share carries a face value of Rs\u202f2, with the remaining Rs\u202f869 representing the share premium.<\/p>\n<p>The proceeds are earmarked for multiple strategic purposes. Around Rs\u202f464.80\u202fcrore will be used to repay or pre\u2011pay existing borrowings, while roughly Rs\u202f301.77\u202fcrore is slated for infusion into subsidiaries\u2014including Dhoot Autocomponents, Dhoot Electricals Systems, Dhoot Automotive Systems, and Dhoot Transmission UK\u2014to reduce their debt burdens. An additional Rs\u202f150\u202fcrore will fund new wiring\u2011harness manufacturing facilities in Jhajjar, Haryana, and Shoolagiri, Hosur, Tamil\u202fNadu, expanding capacity to meet rising demand. The balance of the funds will support inorganic growth through acquisitions and general corporate activities.<\/p>\n<h2>Company background and market positioning<\/h2>\n<p>Founded in April 1998, Dhoot Transmission is a leading Indian electrical and electronics (E&#038;E) firm that designs, engineers, manufactures, and supplies wiring harnesses and electrical distribution systems for automotive and industrial use. Its product range spans wiring harnesses, battery packs, sensors, electronic controllers, switches, terminals, connectors, and power\u2011supply cords, catering to both internal\u2011combustion\u2011engine (ICE) and electric\u2011vehicle (EV) platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The company holds a dominant position in the two\u2011 and three\u2011wheeler wiring\u2011harness segment, commanding a 41\u202fpercent market share, and it leads the electric two\u2011 and three\u2011wheeler niche with an estimated 70\u202fpercent share in FY26. Beyond passenger two\u2011wheelers, Dhoot supplies components for commercial vehicles, off\u2011highway equipment, agricultural machinery, and broader industrial applications. Approximately 95\u202fpercent of its automotive portfolio is EV\u2011focused or powertrain\u2011neutral, aligning the firm with long\u2011term trends such as vehicle electrification, premiumisation, connected mobility and automation.<\/p>\n<p>As of March\u202f31,\u202f2026, Dhoot Transmission employed 2,735 full\u2011time staff across manufacturing, research &#038; development, engineering, sales, finance and corporate functions.<\/p>\n<h2>Financial performance in FY26<\/h2>\n<p>For the fiscal year ended March\u202f2026, the company reported a 31\u202fpercent jump in total income, rising to Rs\u202f4,563.70\u202fcrore from Rs\u202f3,472.24\u202fcrore the previous year. Profit after tax (PAT) increased by 12\u202fpercent to Rs\u202f396.84\u202fcrore, up from Rs\u202f353.89\u202fcrore in FY25. The growth reflects robust revenue expansion and steady profitability despite a competitive market environment.<\/p>\n<h2>Analyst outlook<\/h2>\n<p>AnandRathi Research assigned a \u201cSubscribe for Long Term\u201d rating to the IPO. The brokerage calculated an implied price\u2011to\u2011earnings multiple of 44.9\u202ftimes based on annualised FY26 earnings, resulting in a post\u2011issue market capitalisation estimate of roughly Rs\u202f1,78,161\u202fmillion. While the valuation is deemed reasonable, the firm highlighted concerns over customer concentration and execution risks linked to expansion projects.<\/p>\n<p>Ventura Securities also recommended a \u201cSubscribe\u201d stance, pointing to the company\u2019s strong FY26 results, rising EV contribution and strategic focus on premiumisation and electrification. Ventura noted Dhoot\u2019s ambition to increase vehicle\u2011level content value by moving into battery packs and advanced driver\u2011assistance systems (ADAS), and it praised the firm\u2019s marquee OEM customer base and diversified mix.<\/p>\n<p>Both analysts underscored Dhoot Transmission\u2019s market leadership, established OEM relationships, expanding manufacturing capacity and growing exposure to EV components as supportive of a favorable long\u2011term growth trajectory.<\/p>\n<p>Investors considering the issue should weigh the positive financial indicators and strategic positioning against the noted risks, while also keeping in mind that the grey\u2011market premium is an unofficial signal that can shift before the actual listing.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dhoot Transmission&#8217;s IPO, worth over Rs\u202f3,000\u202fcrore, opened on Aug\u202f10 with a grey\u2011market premium suggesting a 30% listing gain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1597,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[299],"tags":[1372,770,1374,1368,1373],"class_list":["post-1596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-dhoot-transmission","tag-electric-vehicles","tag-grey-market-premium","tag-ipo","tag-stock-market","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1596"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1596\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
