Apis India Bonus Shares: 24:1 Bonus, 1:5 Split & Demerger Stocks Going Ex on Dec 5

What’s happening with Apis India Ltd (APIS)

Apis India Ltd has announced a major corporate action: a bonus share issue in the ratio of 24:1. That means for every one share you own, you will receive 24 additional shares absolutely free.

The record date and ex-bonus date have both been set as Friday, December 5, 2025.

This bonus issue is part of a broader wave of corporate actions, including stock splits and demergers, causing several stocks to “go ex” on December 5.

Why is Apis India doing a 24:1 bonus issue?

Rewarding investors and improving liquidity

Issuing bonus shares is a common corporate action when a company wants to reward existing shareholders without altering fundamental value. It increases the total number of shares, but the overall value of holdings remains the same. For Apis India, the 24:1 ratio is unusually high,  a sign that the company is confident in its long-term growth and wants to widen its investor base. 

Making shares more attractive and affordable

A large bonus issue often leads to a proportional drop in share price, making each share more affordable for smaller investors. This can enhance trading volume and market liquidity. Given that Apis India’s stock is already popular, this move could draw more retail participation.

Historical context — shareholders benefit again

Apis India issued bonus shares earlier; the previous notable bonus was in 2010 at a ratio of 323:100. Now, with 24:1, the company continues a track record of rewarding its long-term shareholders.

What will happen to your Apis India holdings?

Suppose you hold 10 shares today. After the bonus issue, you will get 240 bonus shares, making your total 250 shares.

Or if you own 100 shares, you will receive 2,400 bonus shares, leading to 2,500 total shares. 

Important to note: although you end up with many more shares, the total value of your investment remains almost the same because the share price adjusts downward to reflect the increased number of shares.

The bonus shares are expected to be credited to your Demat account around December 8, 2025, just a few days after the record date.

When should you hold your shares to be eligible?

• You must be a shareholder before or on December 5, 2025 (the ex-bonus date).
• Shares must be fully paid up and properly registered in your Demat or physical share register.
• Buying shares on or after December 5 will make you ineligible for the bonus shares.

What about “1:5 Stock Split & Demerger”?

While many other companies are undergoing stock splits (for example, CAMS splitting from ₹10/share to ₹2/share) or even demergers/spin-offs, for Apis India, the headline is strictly the 24:1 bonus issue. 

There is no public record showing a 1:5 stock split or demerger declared by Apis India at this time. Trendlyne, a stock-market data aggregator,  lists no split history for Apis India since 2000.

So the reference to “1:5 Split & Demerger stocks going ex on Dec 5” applies to a broader set of companies; Apis India is involved only in the bonus issue part.

What this bonus means for investors and new buyers

For existing shareholders

• Your number of shares will increase massively.
• Your overall investment value remains roughly the same immediately after the onus credit.
• Over time, increased liquidity and improved affordability may lead to better trading activity and potentially a gradual value appreciation.

For new investors

This bonus issue might make Apis India stock more affordable due to the price adjustment after the bonus. If you buy after the ex-bonus date, you won’t get the bonus shares, but you enter into a potentially more liquid, lower-price share, which might see better market participation.

Risk considerations

• With a large bonus issue, the share price will adjust downward; the drop may shake short-term investors.
• Corporate actions like bonus issues do not change the company’s fundamentals. If the underlying business performance is weak, the share price may not recover.
• For immediate profit, bonus shares alone won’t help unless the business grows, earnings improve, or demand increases.

How to stay updated & what to watch next

• The actual bonus share allotment is expected around December 8, 2025; check your Demat or broker account for confirmation.
• Watch the post-bonus share price and liquidity; high trading volume could indicate increased investor interest.
• Keep an eye on company news, quarterly results, and market sentiment to evaluate long-term value creation.

In short

The Apis India bonus shares 24:1 announcement is a big move by the company to reward existing investors and potentially attract new ones by increasing liquidity and lowering the share price. The record date of December 5, 2025, is crucial: hold shares by then to get the free shares. 

There’s no 1:5 stock split or demerger announced by Apis India; the 24:1 bonus is the major corporate action. For long-term investors, this could be a signal of confidence from the company; for new investors, it could be an entry point into a more liquid stock.
