This will be the first ever issue of bonus shares that the company has issued for its shareholders.
Back in January 2024, Nestle India had carried out a stock split, during which, it had split one share carrying a face value of ₹10, into 10 shares with face value of ₹1 each.
This means that in case a shareholder had 20 shares of Nestle India pre-split, would now have 200 shares, although the value of those shares remains the same.
Since the stock split, Nestle India has issued dividends on five instances to its shareholders, paying a total of ₹42.5 per share.
Nestle India’s shares have been excluded from the BSE Sensex index at the start of the week as part of the index adjustment exercise. The move resulted in outflows worth over $200 million in the stock, according to analysts.
Shares of Nestle India ended 1.7% higher on Wednesday at ₹2,405. The stock has remained flat in the last one month, but has gained 11% so far in 2025.
