Bonus News Lifts IRB Infra: Shares Jump 10% After Record Date Update

Mon Mar 30 2026

The recent share price of IRB Infrastructure Developers is ₹22.43, up 10.12% on 30th March, 2026, from the previous session. The reason behind this upward movement in the IRB Infrastructure developers’ shares is that the company has locked 1st April, 2026 as the record date for its 1:1 bonus share issue.

1:1 Bonus issue ratio means that every shareholder will receive one fully paid-up bonus equity share of ₹1 for every existing equity share held by them on the record date. This is the first time the company has announced a bonus issue for shareholders. In the earlier phase, it carried out a stock split in February 2023, in which one share of ₹10 was split into 10 shares of ₹1 each.

About Ex-Date and Record Date

The ex-date, also known as the ex-dividend date, is the date that determines whether a shareholder is eligible for a company’s declared dividend. For instance, if an investor buys a stock before the ex-date, they are eligible for the dividend payment. However, if he or she buys the stock on or after that date, he or she will not be eligible for the dividend payment. This is due to the stock settlement cycle, which requires a day for ownership to be officially recorded. The ex-date is normally set one business day prior to the record date.

The record date is the date on which a company goes through its official list of shareholders and then ascertains who amongst them will receive a declared dividend.

So, investors holding shares in their demat accounts as of 27th March will be eligible for the bonus shares, while those holding shares after the 30th March will not qualify.
