Navkar Urbanstructure Ltd, a company operating in the construction sector, has made headlines with two significant corporate actions aimed at enhancing shareholder value — its first-ever bonus issue and a stock split. These moves come as part of the company’s strategy to increase liquidity and attract a broader investor base.

Navkar Urbanstructure Stock Split Details

In March 2025, Navkar Urbanstructure Ltd.’s board approved a stock split, aiming to make the company’s shares more affordable for retail investors. As per the exchange filing, the board resolved to split each equity share with a face value of ₹2 into two equity shares with a face value of ₹1 each.

The record date for the stock split has now been confirmed as May 9, 2025, as per the company’s latest communication to the stock exchange dated April 28, 2025.

Navkar Urbanstructure Bonus Issue

Alongside the stock split, Navkar Urbanstructure Ltd also announced its maiden bonus issue. The company received in-principle approval from the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on April 21, 2025, for issuing 33,66,28,500 bonus equity shares.

The bonus shares will be distributed in a 3:2 ratio, meaning shareholders will receive three bonus shares for every two shares they hold as of the record date. This corporate action not only rewards existing shareholders but also increases the number of shares in circulation, which can lead to improved liquidity and broader participation in the stock.

What This Means for Investors

These developments indicate Navkar Urbanstructure Ltd’s confidence in its financial standing and long-term growth. The stock split is expected to make the shares more accessible, particularly to small investors, while the bonus issue is a direct reward to existing shareholders. Investors holding the stock as of the record date — May 9, 2025 — will be eligible for both the stock split and the bonus issue.

The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), the Hotel arm of the Tata Group, has recommended a dividend of ₹ 2.25 per equity (225%) for FY25 on May 5, 2025. However, the company has not declared a record and payment date for the said dividend.

Indian Hotel Dividend History

Management Take on Q4FY25 Earnings Overview

Mr. Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director & CEO, IHCL, said, “Q4 marks twelve consecutive quarters of record performance with consolidated hotel segment revenue reporting a strong growth of 13%, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 38.5%. Enterprise revenue for the full year stood at INR 14,836 crores, 1.6x of consolidated revenue, in line with our strategy of a balanced capital-light and capital-heavy portfolio. The consolidated double-digit revenue growth for the year was driven by strong same-store performance, 4a 0% increase in New Businesses and not like-for-like growth. IHCL set a new benchmark with 74 signings and 26 openings this fiscal, and over 95% of these signings were capital-light.

The hospitality sector outlook remains highly favourable, with demand consistently outstripping supply, a steady rebound in foreign tourist arrivals, and sustained growth across the leisure, social, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) segments.

On May 6, Tata Motors’ shares price witnessed a negative reaction from the investors as the company’s shareholders convene virtually to vote on the proposal to demerge its business into two distinct entities. Tata Motors share price fell ~2%, reaching a day low of ₹650.85 at 12:35 PM after opening at ₹658.70 on BSE. This decline comes as shareholders prepare to vote on the proposal to split the company into two separate entities for Passenger Vehicles and Commercial Vehicles.

Tata Motors Demerger

After the Tata Motors demerger, there will be two new entities, one focused on Passenger Vehicles and the other on Commercial Vehicles. The two new entities will be named Tata Motors Light Commercial Vehicles (TMLCV) and Tata Motors Light Passenger Vehicles (TMLPV).

The Passenger Vehicles segment will include internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, electric vehicles, and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) operations.

Tata Motors Virtual Meeting

The virtual meeting is scheduled for 3 PM today, and should shareholders approve the resolution, they will be entitled to receive 1 share of the newly formed Commercial Vehicles entity for the 2 shares they currently hold. Only those who held shares of Tata Motors as of March 28, 2025, will be eligible to participate in the meeting.

The company had announced the meeting last month, with the official notification on April 4 stating that it would be conducted via video conferencing (VC) and other audio-visual means (OAVM). Tata Motors had set March 28 as the cut-off date for the demerger, meaning shareholders who acquired shares after this date will not be eligible to vote on the proposal.

Tata Motors Demerger Background

In March 2024, Tata Motors’ board of directors approved the demerger of the company into two listed entities: one for its commercial vehicle operations and the other for its passenger vehicle business, including electric vehicles, JLR, and related investments. The commercial vehicle division will be spun off into Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles Limited (TMLCV), while the existing Passenger Vehicles business will merge into Tata Motors Limited (TML), the current listed entity.

Tata Motors Chairman N. Chandrasekaran commented on the demerger, saying, “Tata Motors has achieved a strong turnaround in recent years. Our three automotive divisions are now operating independently and delivering consistent results. This demerger will allow each business to capitalise more effectively on market opportunities, improving focus and agility. It will result in better growth prospects for our employees, a superior experience for our customers, and increased value for our shareholders.”

Varun Beverages Q1CY25 Earnings

In Q1 CY2025, the company experienced a strong financial performance, with revenue from operations (net of excise/GST) increasing by 28.9% year-over-year, reaching Rs. 55,669.4 million, up from Rs. 43,173.1 million in Q1 CY2024. This growth was primarily driven by a 30.1% rise in consolidated sales volume, reaching 312.4 million cases, compared to 240.2 million cases in Q1 CY2024. Key contributors included robust organic growth in India, which saw a 15.5% increase in volume, and inorganic contributions from South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

However, net realisation per case in India grew by 1.8%, while it remained flat in international markets (excluding South Africa). At the consolidated level, a slight decline of 0.9% in net realisation per case was observed, mainly due to lower realisations in the South African market, where the company achieved 141 million cases over the trailing four quarters, reflecting a 13% growth compared to the previous year. Despite the lower margin profile of owned brands in South Africa and the higher mix of carbonated soft drinks (CSD) in India, the company’s gross margins stood at 54.6%, a decline of 171 basis points compared to Q1 CY2024.

DCM Shriram Management Take on Results

Mr. Ajay Shriram, Chairman & Senior Managing Director, and Mr. Vikram Shriram, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, said, “The growth patterns in the world economy are becoming very uncertain, with projections indicating a global growth rate of less than 3% for 2025 and 2026. The imposition of reciprocal tariffs by the United States and consequent retaliation by China have sent shockwaves through international markets, extending far beyond bilateral relations, influencing supply chains, inflation rates, and economic stability worldwide. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has taken a pro-growth stance, cutting interest rates to stimulate economic activity amid global recessionary concerns & volatility.

Conclusion

DCM Shriram Q4FY25 results are backed by the strategic capacity additions, cost efficiency and product innovation driving multi-segment growth across Agri-Rural and Chemical businesses.
