Shares of A-1 Ltd surged 5% to hit the upper circuit at ₹1,840.90 after the company announced a 3:1 bonus issue and a 10:1 stock split.
Bonus Issue and Stock Split Details
The company set December 31 as the record date for the bonus issue and January 8, 2026 for the stock split. For every one fully paid share a shareholder holds, they will receive three extra shares (bonus) and each share will be divided into ten smaller shares (split). The aim is to make the stock easier to trade and to reward existing investors.
EV Investment and Growth Plans
A-1 Ltd also increased its stake in the electric‑vehicle maker A-1 Sureja Industries from 45% to 51%, valuing the deal at about ₹100 crore. Sureja, which sells the Hurry‑E two‑wheelers, posted revenue of ₹43.46 crore in FY 2023‑24 and expects a compound annual growth rate of over 250% as it moves from R&D to commercial production. This makes A-1 Ltd one of the first listed Indian chemical companies to hold equity in a certified EV manufacturer.
