Nestlé India Bonus Shares: Ex-Date Today, Aug 8

Nestlé India (NSE: NESTLEIND) has announced the issue of bonus equity shares in the ratio of 1:1, meaning shareholders will receive one additional share for every share they currently own. The face value of each share is ₹1. This move will be carried out by capitalising up to ₹96.41 crore from the company’s retained earnings.

Record Date and Shareholder Eligibility

The company has fixed Friday, 8th August 2025 as the record date to determine the eligibility of shareholders for the bonus issue. Only investors who hold shares of Nestlé India as on this date will be entitled to receive the additional shares.

This decision was approved by the company’s equity shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on 24th July 2025. The bonus shares will rank pari-passu in all respects with the existing equity shares, meaning they will carry the same rights and privileges, including voting and dividend rights.

Example of Bonus Shares

If an investor owns 100 shares of Nestlé India before the record date, a 1:1 bonus issue means they will receive an additional 100 shares at no extra cost. Their total holding will become 200 shares, but the stock price will adjust proportionally after the issue.

Conclusion

Nestlé India’s bonus share announcement reflects its financial position and commitment to rewarding shareholders. Investors holding shares as of 8th August 2025 stand to benefit from this move, which is expected to enhance shareholder value and market participation.
