Allotment of bonus equity shares
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Bajaj Finance Limited has allotted 4,97,14,29,216 (approximately 49.71 crore) bonus equity shares of Re. 1 each to eligible shareholders. The bonus issue is in the ratio of 4:1, meaning shareholders receive 4 new shares for every 1 share they held as on the record date of 16 June 2025. After this allotment, the company's paid-up equity share capital has increased to Rs. 621.43 crore, divided into 621.43 crore equity shares of Re. 1 each. This is a major capital expansion event for one of India's largest non-banking financial companies.
Shareholders will see their share count increase fivefold (1 share becomes 5 shares), though the share price is expected to adjust downward proportionally, leaving overall investment value unchanged. The 4:1 ratio signals strong confidence from the company in its future growth and is generally viewed positively by the market.
