Shares of Baba Ramdev-helmed Patanjali Foods surged as much as 0.9% to an intra-day high of ₹1,817.40 apiece on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) on Monday, August 25.

This comes after the company’s shareholders approved the issuance of a 2:1 bonus share in fully paid-up equity shares of ₹2 each for fully paid-up equity shares of ₹2, Patanjali said in a regulatory filing after the market closed on Friday.

The FMCG firm fixed Thursday, September 11, 2025, as the record date for determining the members eligible to receive the bonus equity shares, it added.

Patanjali Foods’ board of directors had proposed the bonus shares in July.

With the bonus shares, 72,50,12,628 equity shares with a face value of ₹2 each will be issued. However, the actual number of bonus shares to be issued will be determined based on the fully paid-up equity shares as on the record date, it said in a separate regulatory filing dated July 17.

The issuance of the bonus shares will be from the capitalisation of the capital redemption reserve, securities premium, and/or general reserve.

About 99.97% of shareholders voted, through postal ballots (e-voting), in favour of Patanjali’s first-ever bonus share issue on August 21.
