Mumbai, India | May 28, 2025 – Today marked a significant milestone for Belrise Industries Limited as its shares officially debuted on both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE, generating considerable buzz among market participants.
The automotive component manufacturer, which recently concluded its Initial Public Offering (IPO), has stepped onto the public trading arena, inviting investors to be a part of its growth story.
A Look at the Debut Performance
Belrise Industries shares listed at ₹100 per share on the NSE, representing an 11.11% premium over its issue price of ₹90 per share. On the BSE, the stock opened at ₹98.50, a premium of 9.44%.
While a positive listing, it fell slightly short of some grey market premium (GMP) estimates, which had hinted at a higher pop of around 20-25%. Following the initial surge, the stock experienced some volatility, trading around ₹97-99 during the day, indicating initial profit-booking by some investors.
As of the close of trading on May 28, 2025, Belrise Industries closed at ₹97.08 on the NSE and ₹99.46 on the BSE. The day’s high was ₹102.40 and the low was ₹91.55. This performance suggests a steady, rather than explosive, start for the company in the secondary market.
The IPO Journey: Strong Demand Ahead of Listing
Belrise Industries’ IPO was a substantial affair, aimed at raising ₹2,150 crore through a fresh issue of 23.89 crore equity shares. The price band for the IPO was set between ₹85 and ₹90 per share. The issue saw an overwhelming response from all categories of investors during its subscription period from May 21 to May 23, 2025.
The overall subscription stood at an impressive 41.30 times. Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) led the charge with their portion subscribed a massive 108.35 times, reflecting strong institutional confidence in the company’s prospects.
Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs) subscribed 38.33 times, while the retail investor portion was subscribed 4.27 times. This robust demand underscored the market’s optimism surrounding Belrise Industries even before its shares began trading.
The proceeds from this fresh issue are earmarked primarily for the repayment or pre-payment of certain loans and for general corporate purposes, which is a positive sign for the company’s financial health and future expansion plans.
Understanding Belrise Industries: The Business Foundation
Belrise Industries, established in 1988, is a prominent Indian automotive component manufacturer. The company boasts a diverse product portfolio, specializing in safety-critical systems and other engineering solutions for a wide range of vehicles, including two-wheelers, three-wheelers, four-wheelers, commercial vehicles, and agricultural vehicles.
Their product range includes:
- Automotive sheet metal and casting parts
- Polymer components
- Suspension and mirror systems
- Body-in-white components
- Exhaust systems
What makes Belrise particularly attractive to investors is its “EV-agnostic” product portfolio. This means their components are largely adaptable to both electric vehicles (EVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, positioning them favorably to capitalize on the rapidly growing EV market.
In India without being overly reliant on traditional powertrains. The company also claims a significant 24% market share in the two-wheeler metal components segment in India by revenue.
Belrise Industries serves a strong client base, including major OEMs like Bajaj, Honda, Hero, Royal Enfield, VE Commercial Vehicles, Tata Motors, Mahindra, and even international players like Jaguar Land Rover. As of December 31, 2024, the company operated 15 manufacturing facilities across nine cities in India.
Financial Snapshot (As per RHP for 9 months ended Dec 31, 2024, and FY24 data):

These financial figures highlight consistent revenue growth and profitability, indicating a fundamentally sound business.
Outlook for Investors: Hold or Book Profits?
For investors who secured an allotment in the IPO, the immediate listing premium offered an opportunity for quick gains. However, market experts have varied opinions on the future trajectory of Belrise Industries’ stock.
Some analysts suggest that while the listing was positive, the slightly subdued premium compared to GMP expectations might indicate that the initial euphoria has settled. For conservative investors, booking partial or full profits on listing day could be a prudent strategy, especially given the current volatile broader market conditions.
For long-term investors, the narrative remains largely positive. Belrise Industries’ strong market position, diversified product portfolio (including EV-agnostic solutions), established client relationships, and the use of IPO proceeds to reduce debt and fund capital expenditure are all strong fundamentals.
These factors could support sustained growth in the long run. The company’s ability to maintain its market share and continue innovating in the evolving automotive landscape will be key.
