Reliance Industries approves bonus share issue in 1:1 ratio

Reliance Industries approves bonus shares and capital increase, promising growth and rewards for shareholders.
Reliance Industries, the country’s most valuable company, on Thursday (September 5, 2024) approved a one-for-one issue of bonus shares and recommended an increase in authorised share capital.
The board recommended an increase in authorized share capital to 500 billion rupees ($5.96 billion) from 150 billion rupees.
This is the oil-to-chemicals conglomerate’s first bonus issue since 2017, when its stock price was roughly 700 rupees. Its stock price has more than quadrupled since then.
This will also be Reliance’s sixth bonus issue since listing.
The bonus issue proposal was announced last week minutes before the company’s annual general meeting where its chairman Mukesh Ambani said that Reliance will more than double in size, with sales and profit doubling at its retail and telecom arms.
Some analysts had said the shareholder meeting was underwhelming as Reliance did not provide any details on the timing of the initial public offerings of its retail and telecom units.
“When Reliance grows, we reward our shareholders handsomely,” Mr. Ambani had said at the meet.
