Antariksh Industries to issue 1:10 bonus shares to boost public float under SEBI rules

Antariksh Industries Limited has approved a bonus share issue restricted to public shareholders, excluding promoters, to meet minimum public shareholding rules. The decision, taken on December 3, 2025, aims to raise market float while using the company’s existing reserves. Investors will receive one bonus share for every ten fully paid-up shares, subject to shareholder approval through a postal ballot process.

The Board of Directors "Recommended issue of bonus equity shares in the proportion of 1:10, that is 1 (One) bonus equity share of Re. 10/- each for every 10 (Ten) fully paid-up equity shares held by public shareholders (except Promoter and Promoter Group), as on the record date in order to achieve compliance with the minimum public shareholding requirement mandated under rule 19A of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957 read with regulation 38 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirement) Regulations, 2015, subject to approval of the Members of the Company," said Antariksh Industries in a stock exchange filing.

The company has set a clear timeline for eligibility. "The Company has fixed Friday, January 9, 2026 as the Record Date, for the purpose of ascertaining the eligibility of public shareholders (except Promoter and Promoter Group), entitled for issuance of Bonus Equity Shares in the proportion of 1 (One) Equity Share of Re. 10/- each for every 10 (ten) existing Equity Shares of Re. 10/- each, subject to the approval of Members, which is being obtained through Postal ballot," confirmed Antariksh Industries in a regulatory filing.

Within two months from the Board meeting, that is by February 2, 2026, eligible investors are expected to receive the credited or allotted bonus shares. The issue applies only to public shareholders on the record date. Promoter and promoter group holdings are specifically excluded, which supports the objective of lifting the public shareholding level as per SEBI norms.

According to company disclosures, the pre-bonus paid-up share capital stands at 2,00,000 equity shares of Rs 10 each, aggregating to Rs 20,00,000. After giving effect to the bonus issue for eligible public shareholders, the paid-up capital will rise to 2,04,940 equity shares, amounting to Rs 20,49,400. The incremental capital of Rs 49,400 will be drawn from free reserves.

As of March 31, 2025, Antariksh Industries reports audited free reserves of Rs 141.48 lakh, which comfortably covers the bonus requirement. The relatively modest capital outlay for the bonus, compared with the available reserves, signals that the company is not stretching its balance sheet. The move also indicates room for future capital planning, if regulatory or strategic needs arise.
