The bonus has been issued in the ratio of 2:1, meaning two additional equity shares have been issued for every equity share having a nominal value of Re 1 each.

Besides, the company also subdivided or split the face value of equity shares from Rs 10 to Re 1 each. The split came into effect just ahead of the bonus. 

Accordingly, each equity share having a face value of Rs 10 was split into 10 equity shares of the face value of Re 1 each and then a bonus was issued in the ratio of 2:1.

"Allotted 65,25,44,000 Equity shares of Re 1 each as fully paid Bonus Shares to the existing shareholders of the company as on record date i.e. September 15, 2023 in the ratio of 2:1 i.e. two equity shares for every one equity shares having a face value of Re 1 each," the company said in a regulatory filing.

"Post the above allotment, the paid-up equity share capital of the company would stand at Rs 97,88,16,000 divided into 97,88,16,000 equity shares of Re 1 each," it added.

The rationale behind the split and bonus is to enhance the liquidity in the stock and make the stock price affordable for small investors and traders. When a stock trades ex-date for split and bonus, the market price is adjusted in the declared ratio.
