In an exchange filing, the company announced the 1:2 bonus issue along with Rs 6 dividend and Q4 results. The record date to determine the eligibility of shareholders set to receive the bonus shares will be announced later.
The Tata Group company said that it will issue one bonus share for every two shares owned as on the record date, subject to shareholders’ approval. Around 17.77 crore shares with a face value of Re 1 each will be issued as part of the offer.
Trent plans to allot the bonus shares by June 21, utilising share premium worth Rs 17.77 crore. The company’s total share premium available for capitalisation stood at Rs 1,924.3 crore as of March 31, 2026.
This marks the first-ever bonus issue announced by the Tata Group company. Earlier in June last year, the company announced a dividend of Rs 5 per equity share, while it paid dividends of Rs 3.20 in May 2024 and Rs 2.20 in May 2023. In 2016, it announced a stock split in the ratio of 10:1.
A bonus issue consists of free shares distributed by a company from its reserves and is often seen as a sign of strong financial health and growth prospects. While the issue of bonus shares increases the total number of outstanding shares, it does not change the company’s market capitalisation. However, it can improve liquidity and affordability, allowing more investors to add shares of the company to their portfolio.Only those shareholders who own the shares of the company as on the record date will be eligible to receive the bonus shares. The record date for Trent’s prospective bonus issue is yet to be determined.Trent Q4 results

Further, Trent’s board of directors also approved the plan to raise additional funds through the issue of equity shares via rights issue or other methods. The company announced an Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) to issue nearly 8.89 lakh shares to its eligible shareholders.
