Ashok Leyland Allots 1:1 Bonus Shares Ahead of July 18 Trading Debut

Ashok Leyland has officially allotted bonus shares to its shareholders in a 1:1 ratio, meaning investors will receive 1 free share for every share they already own. This allotment was approved by the company's board earlier in May 2025, alongside its Q4 FY25 results.

The company confirmed the allotment of 293.65 crore bonus shares on July 17, 2025, to shareholders listed in the company’s register as of Wednesday, July 16, 2025—the record date. These shares will start trading on stock exchanges from Friday, July 18, 2025.

Ashok Leyland Bonus Shares to Trade Equally

Ashok Leyland Second Bonus Issue by the Company

This marks Ashok Leyland’s second-ever bonus share issue. The last bonus announcement by the company was back in 2011, also in a 1:1 ratio.

Ashok Leyland Share Price Movement

As of July 17, 2025, Ashok Leyland share price (NSE: ASHOKLEY) was trading at ₹123.70, down 0.72% for the day. The stock opened at ₹125.10 and touched an intraday high and low of ₹125.15 and ₹123.30, respectively. The company has a market capitalisation of ₹36,330 crore, a P/E ratio of 11.72, and a dividend yield of 5.05%. It recently declared a quarterly dividend of ₹1.56 per share. Over the past 52 weeks, the stock has traded between a high of ₹132.32 and a low of ₹95.93.

Conclusion

Ashok Leyland’s 1:1 bonus share issue is a shareholder-friendly move that reflects confidence in the company’s performance and future outlook. With bonus shares becoming tradable from July 18, 2025, investors can expect greater liquidity in the stock. However, the share price may adjust to reflect the bonus, and market sentiment may continue to guide near-term movement.
