Its Zero Motorcycles holding has fallen from 6.9% to 0.8% and was valued at $1.9 million in FY26, although joint electric-motorcycle development continues.

The data show Hero’s roughly $175.6 million invested in Ather growing into a stake worth more than $1.34 billion, while the Zero holding fell to $1.9 million in FY26. Yet a listed company and a private company cannot be valued on a simple like-for-like basis. If development continues despite lower ownership, Hero is separating technology access from market investment.

Can Hero still access the technology after the Zero stake fell to $1.9 million?

Ownership and joint development are different things; keep them separate.

If Project VxZ cooperation remains, I want the products to give the answer.

This looks like Hero choosing where to invest in EVs, not leaving them.

A listed Ather and private Zero cannot be compared that simply.

If the valuation methods differ, $1.34 billion versus $1.9 million is not the whole story.

A roughly 30% Ather stake above $1.34 billion is a huge contrast.
