Bharat Rasayan Board Approves 1:1 Bonus Share Issue and Stock Split

Bharat Rasayan Ltd. has announced board approval for a 1:1 bonus share issue alongside a stock split, aimed at increasing liquidity and accessibility of its equity shares. The move involves splitting each ₹10 share into 2 shares of ₹5, followed by the issuance of bonus shares in a 1:1 ratio to eligible shareholders.

Bharat Rasayan Board Approves Bonus Shares and Share Split

In a regulatory filing dated October 24, 2025, Bharat Rasayan Limited confirmed board approval for the sub-division and issue of bonus shares. The company will first split its 41,55,000 fully paid equity shares of ₹10 each into 83,10,000 equity shares of ₹5 each. 

Following this, the company will issue bonus shares in the ratio of 1:1, resulting in a total equity base of 1,66,20,000 shares post-issue.

Objective Behind the Corporate Actions

The dual move aims to enhance the stock’s affordability and improve liquidity in the market. The face value reduction from ₹10 to ₹5 per share brings down the trading price per unit, making the stock more accessible to a wider range of investors, while the bonus issue rewards existing shareholders by effectively doubling their holdings.
