Kotyark Industries announced that its Board of Directors approved the issuance of bonus equity shares in the ratio of 10:1, meaning shareholders will receive 10 bonus equity shares of Rs. 10 each for every 1 existing fully paid-up equity share held. The decision was taken at the board meeting held on May 14, 2026, subject to shareholder approval. Following this, the company issued a Postal Ballot Notice on May 15, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, to seek member approval through a remote e-voting process.

Capital Increase and Shareholder Approval
The two resolutions being put to members via postal ballot are: (1) approval of the increase in authorised share capital and consequent alteration of Clause V of the Memorandum of Association, and (2) approval of the issuance of bonus shares. The board has proposed increasing the authorised share capital from Rs. 23,00,00,000 to Rs. 200,00,00,000, involving the creation of an additional 17,70,00,000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each, aggregating to additional capital of Rs. 177,00,00,000. This will raise the total number of equity shares from 2,30,00,000 to 20,00,00,000 with a face value of Rs. 10 each. KFin Technologies Limited serves as the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent.
Financial Implications and Dividend
The bonus issue will be funded by capitalising a sum of up to Rs. 102,79,11,600 from the Securities Premium Account and/or Free Reserves, as per the audited accounts for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. As on March 31, 2026, the company reported a Securities Premium balance of Rs. 7715.14 Lakhs and Retained Earnings of Rs. 7142.50 Lakhs. The board noted that a dividend of Rs. 5 per share was recommended for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, on the pre-bonus paid-up equity share capital. Consequent to the approval of the bonus issue, this dividend will be adjusted proportionately on the post-bonus paid-up equity share capital so that the overall dividend payout amount remains substantially unchanged.
The table below summarises the key capital metrics before and after the bonus issue:
| Capital Metrics: | Pre-Bonus | Post-Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Paid-up Share Capital: | Rs. 10,27,91,160 | Rs. 113,07,02,760 |
| Number of Equity Shares: | 1,02,79,116 | 11,30,70,276 |
| Amount to be Capitalised: | — | Rs. 102,79,11,600 |
The record date for determining eligibility for the bonus shares will be communicated later. The company expects to credit the bonus shares within two months from the board approval date, or by July 14, 2026, pending necessary approvals. The proposed resolutions, if approved by the requisite majority, shall be deemed to have been passed on June 15, 2026, the last date of e-voting.
