Nestle India's first-ever bonus issue record date tomorrow. Last day to buy for eligibility
Nestle India
in order to be eligible for the upcoming 1:1 bonus share issue. The record date for this corporate action has been fixed for Friday, August 8.
This means that the shareholders must own the stock as of the end of today to receive the additional shares.
This marks a significant milestone in the company's history, as Nestle India has never announced a bonus issue before, according to data from Trendlyne. The 1:1 bonus will effectively double the number of outstanding shares, granting shareholders one free share for every one held.
The issuance of bonus shares, while not impacting the company's fundamentals directly, is often perceived as a signal of strong financial health and management confidence.
It also improves stock liquidity and makes the stock more affordable for retail investors by adjusting the price post-bonus.
The move by Nestle India is likely aimed at rewarding long-term shareholders and improving accessibility, especially at a time when the company's stock has remained relatively high-priced in comparison to many of its peers in the FMCG sector.
As per SEBI's T+1 settlement rule, investors looking to become eligible must buy the shares no later than today, as transactions settled on August 8 will not qualify for the bonus entitlement.

The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) has proposed works worth Rs 81,317 crore for the greenfield capital city of Amaravati, with tenders already issued for projects valued at Rs 50,552 crore. Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu reviewed the progress of Amaravati's construction at the Secretariat, in a meeting attended by Municipal Minister P. Narayana, senior officials, and contractors. "CRDA has proposed works worth a total of Rs 81,317 crore for the construction of the capital city. Currently, it called tenders for projects worth Rs 50,552 crore," said an official press release.

He reviewed the progress of infrastructure development in areas under the LPS (land pooling scheme) and the construction of residences for ministers, MLAs, officials, employees, and judges. On returnable plots to farmers, Naidu called for measures which would neither inconvenience the peasants nor impact Amaravati's master plan. Further, the CM instructed officials to expedite approvals to agencies intending to build their offices in the greenfield capital city, especially for institutions like BITS - Pilani, XLRI and others. In addition, he suggested continuous monitoring of progress by 72 organisations which received land in the capital CM noted that mere allocation of land does not complete the capital's development as investments and ventures need to follow. He sought investments across diverse sectors in Amaravati, including Sport City, tourism, airport infrastructure, biotechnology, educational institutions, and hospitals and directed officials to invite India's top 10 real estate companies to take up projects in the region.
