Patanjali Foods informed the stock exchanges that its Board of Directors, at a meeting held on Thursday, July 17, 2025, considered and approved a bonus share issue.
The board has recommended issuing bonus shares in the ratio of 2:1. This means shareholders will receive two new fully paid-up equity shares of face value ₹2 each for every one existing share they hold, also of face value ₹2. The bonus issue will be subject to shareholders’ approval and will be funded by utilizing the company’s capital redemption reserve, securities premium, or general reserve.
The company said it will announce the record date — the date on which shareholders must be on the company’s books to be eligible for the bonus shares — in due course.
The company will issue approximately 72,50,12,628 new equity shares under the bonus scheme. After the bonus shares are allotted, the company’s total share capital will rise from the current ₹145.00 crore (based on 36,06,31,414 shares) to ₹217.50 crore (based on 108,75,18,842 shares).
As per the latest audited balance sheet dated March 31, 2025, Patanjali Foods has sufficient reserves to carry out this bonus issue. The capital redemption reserve stands at ₹266.93 crore, the securities premium account at ₹4704.37 crore, and the general reserve at ₹418.15 crore.
The bonus shares are expected to be credited or dispatched to eligible shareholders within two months from the date of the Board meeting—on or before September 16, 2025.
The move is aimed at rewarding existing shareholders and increasing liquidity of the company’s stock in the market.
