Ashok Leyland Bonus Issue 2025: Ashok Leyland fixes July 16 as record date.

Ashok Leyland Bonus Issue Record Date 2025: Ashok Leyland Limited, the commercial vehicle manufacturer, has recommended a bonus issue in the ratio of 1:1, i.e. 1 (one) new fully equity share of Rs 1 each for every 1 (one) existing equity share of the company. To determine the eligibility of the shareholders, the company has fixed Wednesday, July 16, as the record date for the bonus issue.

Ahead of the bonus issue record date, shares of Ashok Leyland Limited have gained 1.50 per cent intraday on BSE. At 11:00 am, the scrip was trading at Rs 250 apiece, against the previous day close at Rs 264.70 apiece.

Ashok Leyland Limited is the flagship company of Hinduja Group. The company has a market cap of Rs 73,413 crore as of July 14. It is a constituent of BSE 200.

“This is further to our intimation dated July 7, 2025, informing the Shareholders approval for issue of Bonus Shares in the ratio of 1:1 i.e. 1 (One) new fully paid-up Equity Shares of Rs 1/- each for every 1 (One) existing fully paid-up Equity Share of the Company,” the company said in the filing.

“In this regard, we wish to inform that the Allotment Committee has fixed Wednesday, July 16, 2025, as the record date for determining the eligible shareholders for allotment of Bonus Shares. Further, in accordance with SEBI circular dated September 16, 2024, the deemed date of allotment of Bonus

Shares shall be Thursday, July 17, 2025, and these Bonus Shares will be made available for trading on the next working day of allotment i.e. Friday, July 18, 2025.”

Will Bonus Issue Impact The Shareholders’ Value?

No. Bonus issue, which is an additional share offered by its shareholders from the profits, doesn’t impact the holding value of the shareholders. The increase of number of shares in an investor’s holding will be offset by an adjustment of the price of its share after on the record date.

Example of a 1:1 Bonus Issue:

Let’s say you own 100 shares of Ashok Leyland, and the current share price is Rs 250.

The company announces a 1:1 bonus issue, which means:

You will get 1 extra share for every 1 share you already own.

So, after the bonus issue:

You will now have: 100 (original) + 100 (bonus) = 200 shares

But the share price will be adjusted. So if the share was Rs 250 before, it may now become around Rs 125 (since the number of shares doubled).

Note these are just rough estimates. The actual adjustment will be known that day.
