Nestle board approves 1:1 bonus share issue; stock up 1% in morning trade on June 26
The board of FMCG maker Nestle India approved the issuance of bonus equity shares in the ratio of 1:1 to its existing shareholders on Thursday (June 26, 2025.)
'The bonus equity share of face value of Re.1 will be fully issued to equity shares of face value of Re.1 each, held by the members of the company,' Nestle India said in a regulatory filing.
However, "record date for determining the entitlement of the members of the company to receive bonus equity shares will be announced in due course," it added. On June 19, Nestle had announced that the company's board will consider the bonus shares issue.
The board of Nestle India, which is also having its annual general meeting (AGM) on Thursday (June 26, 2025), approved the issue of 1:1 bonus share, subject to final approval in the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) held by Nestle India on July 24, informed its outgoing Chairman and Managing Director Suresh Narayan.
"...the board of directors have declared a bonus of one equity share, or one equity share held..., which is subject to the approval of the members in the EGM to be held on 24th July, 2025," Mr. Narayanan said during his address at the AGM.
This is the first bonus issue after the year 1996, with subdivision of shares and NSE listing in 2024. "We believe we have fulfilled a long-standing wish of all the shareholders," he said, adding that this will benefit more than 1.6 lakh small shareholders holding less than five shares each.
The company believes that the proposed issuance of bonus equity shares "recognises the steadfast support and loyalty" of the shareholders throughout the company's growth and transformation journey. "Moreover, it will enhance the liquidity of the shares while expanding the…retail investor participation," he added.
After this announcement, Nestle India shares jumped nearly 1% in the morning trades. Shares of Nestle India were trading at ₹2,426.95 apiece on the BSE, up 0.94%.

Sensex gains 1,859 points, Nifty jumps 577 points over the last 3 trading sessions on Iran-Israel ceasefire, easing oil prices
Domestic stock market indices, Sensex and Nifty, surged 1.2 per cent on Thursday as investors sentiments increased, following the Iran-Israel truce, fall in oil prices and appreciation in the rupee. In the past three trading sessions, the Sensex has gained 2.27 per cent, or 1,859 points and the Nifty 50 climbed 2.32 per cent, or 577.1 points amid easing geopolitical tensions. On Thursday, the BSE's 30-share Sensex rose 1.21 per cent, or 1,000.36 points, to close at 83,755.87. The broader Nifty 50 also advanced 1.21 per cent, or 304.25 points, to end at 25,549. 'The benchmark index reflected strong investor confidence, underpinned by the apparent stability of the Middle East ceasefire, which has eased concerns over potential supply chain disruptions,' said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Ltd. The Brent crude oil prices, which touched an intraday of $81.40 per barrel on June 23 amid escalating West Asia tensions, have currently eased to $67.87 per barrel. 'After consolidating for over five weeks, markets have finally resumed their uptrend, and we expect Nifty to gradually move towards its record high, with a possible pause around the 25,700–25,800 zone. All key sectors, except FMCG, are contributing to the move on a rotational basis,' said Ajit Mishra, Senior Vice President (Research), Religare Broking Ltd. On Thursday, the market tone was positive from the start, supported by stable global cues, followed by a range-bound move in the first half. However, momentum picked up as the session progressed, driven by strong buying in select heavyweights across sectors. The broader indices also moved higher, adding nearly half a percent each. The Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 rose 0.59 per cent and 0.42 per cent. Ten of the 13 major sectoral indices advanced, with the Nifty Metal index gaining 2.3 per cent as a weaker US dollar made dollar-denominated commodities more attractive to global buyers. 'The dollar weakened after US President Donald Trump's renewed criticism of the Federal Reserve reignited concerns over the central bank's independence, pressuring the greenback and boosting commodity-linked sectors globally,' said Gaurav Garg, Lemonn Markets Desk. Nifty Bank surged 1.03 per cent to touch a record high of 57,206.70, led by gains in HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank and IndusInd Bank. The NSE companies that gained the most included Shriram Finance (3.69 per cent), Jio Financial Services (3.05 per cent), Tata Steel (2.56 per cent), Bharti Airtel (2.54 per cent) and Hindalco Industries (2.48 per cent). Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued to pare holdings due to the narrowing yield spread between U.S. and Indian 10-year bonds. The domestic institutional investors (DIIs) emerged as net buyers, buoyed by improving liquidity conditions and a rebound in domestic consumption. 'We continue to favor rate-sensitive sectors such as banking, financials, auto, and realty, while recommending a selective approach for other segments,' said Religare Broking's Mishra.
