Karnika Industries has announced a 4:1 bonus share issue for its shareholders as an expression of gratitude and a sign of financial strength. Alongside, we have also decided to make a significant expansion of its authorised capital from Rs. 25 Crore to Rs. 70 Crore.
For a company that has already established itself as a leading kids’ wear manufacturer, these strategic moves will not only reward investor trust but also reinforce our standing in the market. It is going to help us boost our credibility, stability, and long-term vision.
Bonus Shares: Rewarding our investors generously
On July 15, 2025, the Board approved a 4:1 bonus share issue—four bonus shares for every one existing equity share—subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EGM).
“The record date for determining the entitlement of the members of the Company to receive bonus equity shares will be intimated separately by the Company in due course.”

To put it in simple terms, this means that 4.9598 Crore new shares worth Rs. 49.59 Crore will be issued, drawn from the company’s Free Reserves and Securities Premium Account as of March 31, 2025. This move will ensure existing investors are rewarded well while enhancing liquidity and building credibility among our investors across India.
Building and strengthening our financial foundation
In addition to rewarding our investors, the Board of Directors has approved an increase in the authorised share capital from Rs. 25 Crore to Rs. 70 Crore. The equity shares are of face value of Rs. 10/- (Rupees Ten Only) each, and all of these are yet to be approved by the shareholders in the upcoming Extra-Ordinary General Meeting.
