R&B Denims Limited Approves Stock Split and Bonus Issue Amid Record NSE Price

R&B Denims Limited drew investor interest on 16 February 2026 after the Board cleared a stock split and a bonus issue. The dual corporate actions came as the share price on the NSE touched a fresh record level. Traders tracked the announcements closely, as both moves change the number of shares held without altering overall invested value.

On the NSE, R & B Denims Ltd.'s share price stood at Rs 181.58 on 16 February 2026. During the same session, the counter hit an all-time high of Rs 181.90. This intraday peak reflected a gain of about 1.92% over the previous close of Rs 178.16, signalling a positive reaction to the Board decisions.

R&B Denims Limited, founded in 2010 and based in Surat, operates as a vertically integrated denim fabric manufacturer. The company produces more than 30 million meters of denim each year. This production scale, combined with corporate actions such as the latest stock split and bonus shares, keeps the company under close watch for many market participants.

The Board of Directors "Considered and approved stock split (sub-division of equity shares) of Company's 1 (One) equity share of face value of Rs. 2/- (Rupees two only) each into 1 (One) equity share of face value of Re. 1/- (Rupee one only) each, subject to the approval of shareholders and other approvals as may be required. In this respect, the record date shall be decided by the board and will be intimated to exchange," confirmed R&B Denims in a stock exchange statement.

Before the stock split decision, authorised share capital amounted to Rs 25.50 crore, divided into 12.75 crore equity shares with a face value of Rs 2 each. After the split, the overall authorised capital stays unchanged at Rs 25.50 crore, but the number of authorised equity shares doubles to 25.50 crore, each now having a reduced face value of Re 1.

The company’s issued, subscribed and paid-up share capital currently totals Rs 17.99 crore, represented by 8,99,73,440 equity shares of Rs 2 each. Once the split takes effect, paid-up capital remains Rs 17.99 crore. However, the number of equity shares will increase to 17,99,46,880, each carrying a nominal value of Re 1, thus improving liquidity while keeping total capital constant.

Parameter	Before stock split	After stock split
Authorised share capital (Rs crore)	25.50	25.50
Face value per share (authorised)	Rs 2	Re 1
Number of authorised shares (crore)	12.75	25.50
Paid-up share capital (Rs crore)	17.99	17.99
Number of paid-up shares	8,99,73,440	17,99,46,880
Face value per paid-up share	Rs 2	Re 1

Alongside the split, the Board also cleared a bonus equity issue tied to the post-split face value. The company stated that these corporate changes require shareholder approval and other regulatory consents. The Board will announce separate record dates for both actions, allowing exchanges to determine beneficiary holdings accurately.

The Board of Directors "Considered and approved the issue of Bonus equity shares in the ratio 1:2 i.e. 1 (One) equity shares of Re. 1/- (Rupee one only) each for every 2 (Two) full paid-up equity shares of Re. 1/(Rupee one only) each held by the Shareholders of the Company, subject to the approval of shareholders and other approvals as may be required. In this respect, the record date shall be decided by the board and will be intimated to exchange for determining the entitlement of the Shareholders to receive Bonus Shares in due course," R&B Denims said in a statement.

For investors, the combination of a stock split and a 1:2 bonus issue alters the share count significantly while leaving aggregate investment value unchanged at the point of issue. The steady capital structure, rising share price and large denim manufacturing base together offer a clearer picture of R&B Denims’ current position within the listed textile sector.
