Ashok Leyland bonus issue details
In May 2025, Ashok Leyland announced a 1:1 bonus share issue alongside its March quarter results and dividend declaration. Under the bonus scheme, shareholders will receive one additional share for every share they currently own — a move the company last made in 2011.
The board also approved a dividend of ₹4.25 per share, resulting in a total pay out of ₹1,248 crore.
For the fourth quarter, Ashok Leyland reported a 38.4 per cent increase in net profit, which rose to ₹1,246 crore from ₹900 crore in the same period the previous year. This growth was aided by a tax credit of ₹173 crore, which was absent in the year-ago quarter.
Quarterly revenue grew 5.7 per cent year-on-year to ₹11,906.7 crore, while EBITDA reached ₹1,791 crore, reflecting a 12.5 per cent increase over the previous year.
