Ahead of its initial share sale, Harsha Engineers had raised ₹225.7 crore from anchor investors including American Funds Insurance Series Global Small Capitalization Fund, Goldman Sachs Funds - Goldman Sachs India Equity Portfolio, PineBridge Global Funds - PineBridge India Equity Fund and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority-Monsoon.

The shares of the company are currently commanding a grey market premium or GMP of ₹225 from ₹210 per share earlier.

GMP is the premium at which IPO shares are traded in an unofficial market before they are listed on the stock exchanges. The IPO opened on September 14, and will close on September 16.

Most analysts have recommended subscribing to the IPO following the company’s dominant position in the industry.

“Harsha Engineers International with its dominant position is well placed to capture the growing bearing cage demand across industries. We like its increasing focus on other specialised precision components and on the growing EV segment which could boost its EBITDA margins,” said analysts at Motilal Oswal.
