Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Ashok Leyland's Board of Directors, at their meeting on May 23, 2025, approved a bonus share issuance in the ratio of 1:1. This means shareholders will receive 1 additional equity share for every 1 share they currently hold, effectively doubling the number of shares outstanding. The company is one of India's largest commercial vehicle manufacturers. A 1:1 bonus is among the most generous bonus ratios a company can issue, reflecting strong confidence in the business and reserves. Shareholders will need to await further details on the record date and timelines.
This is a positive development for shareholders — it doubles their share count without additional cost, though the stock price typically adjusts downward by roughly half on the ex-date. It signals management's confidence and strong reserve position, and may improve liquidity and retail participation in the stock.
