Anand Rathi advised investors to subscribe to Belrise Industries IPO. "The company is focusing on increasing its Content per Vehicle along with focusing on EV's, 4 Wheelers as Commercial Vehicles. We believe that the issue is fairly priced and recommend ‘Subscribe – Long Term’ rating to the IPO," the brokerage said.

Geojit Financial Services also recommended a 'subscribe' rating for a long-term basis, given the firm's "dominant market share, diversified product portfolio, strong presence in EV& IC engine segments, capacity expansions, optimize inventory management and favourable industry outlook".

Bajaj Broking too kept a 'subscribe' rating for long term. "Belrise Industries is confident of higher earnings post IPO as it will save on interest cost and recent acquisition will help in boosting its play in four-wheeler segment. Based on its financial data, the IPO appears reasonably priced. Investors may park funds for medium to long term," the brokerage said.

"Belrise Industries presents a compelling IPO opportunity, backed by strong fundamentals and a leadership position in the automotive components space. The company’s strategic focus on EV components, combined with its extensive OEM partnerships and integrated manufacturing, positions it well for sustained growth. The substantial debt repayment through IPO proceeds is expected to enhance profitability and improve cash flows, offering valuation comfort at a forward P/E of 16x. While investor attention is warranted on related-party transactions and customer concentration, the long-term growth potential and diversification into future-ready segments make Belrise an attractive bet for medium- to long-term investors," said Gaurav Garg from Lemonn Markets Desk.

The company intends to utilise proceeds worth Rs 1,618 crore for the payment of debt. The company had borrowings of close to Rs 2,600 crore in its books as of December 2024.
