Nirman Agri Genetics Ltd, a fast-rising SME in India’s agri-tech sector, is preparing for a strategic leap with its board set to deliberate on three major corporate actions—stock split, bonus share issuance, and expansion into hydroponics. The board meeting, scheduled for September 13, 2025, reflects the company’s intent to reward shareholders, enhance liquidity, and diversify its agricultural innovation portfolio.
The announcements come on the back of exceptional financial performance, with the company reporting a 356 percent year-on-year revenue growth and a 171 percent surge in net profit. These developments position Nirman Agri Genetics as a standout performer in the agri-inputs and hybrid seed segment, and its latest proposals signal a bold push toward scalability and investor engagement.
Key highlights from the upcoming board meeting agenda
- Proposal to issue bonus shares to existing shareholders
- Consideration of a stock split to improve affordability and market participation
- Strategic expansion into hydroponics and agri-tech automation
- Dividend declaration of up to 50 percent also under review
- Company reported Rs 50.35 crore in quarterly revenue and Rs 10.4 crore in net profit
- Share price has surged over 300 percent since IPO in March 2023
Bonus shares and stock split: Enhancing investor value
The board will evaluate a proposal to issue bonus shares, a move aimed at increasing liquidity and reinforcing shareholder confidence. Bonus shares are typically issued from free reserves and distributed proportionally to existing shareholders, thereby increasing the number of outstanding shares without diluting ownership.
In parallel, the company is considering a stock split, which would reduce the face value of each share and increase the total number of shares in circulation. This action is designed to make the stock more accessible to retail investors and improve trading volumes. Given the current share price hovering around Rs 415, a split could significantly widen investor participation.
Hydroponics and agri-tech expansion: Future-ready farming
Nirman Agri Genetics is also exploring expansion into hydroponics—a soil-less farming technique that uses nutrient-rich water to grow crops in controlled environments. The company plans to integrate Internet of Things (IoT) devices to monitor soil parameters, irrigation levels, crop growth stages, and fertilization schedules.
This move aligns with global trends in sustainable agriculture and positions Nirman to tap into the growing demand for high-yield, resource-efficient farming solutions. The hydroponics initiative will complement the company’s existing portfolio of hybrid seeds, pesticides, and bio-organics, offering a full-stack solution for modern farmers.
Financial performance and market trajectory
Nirman Agri Genetics has delivered stellar financial results in recent quarters:
- Quarterly revenue rose to Rs 50.35 crore, up 356.2 percent year-on-year
- Net profit climbed to Rs 10.4 crore, marking a 159.76 percent annual increase
- The company’s IPO in March 2023 was priced at Rs 99 per share; current price exceeds Rs 415
- Market capitalization has expanded rapidly, with strong institutional interest
These metrics underscore the company’s operational efficiency and market relevance, especially in a sector that has seen uneven performance across peers.
Shareholder sentiment and strategic outlook
The proposed corporate actions are expected to boost investor sentiment and signal long-term growth intent. Bonus shares and stock splits often lead to increased retail interest, while hydroponics expansion reflects a forward-looking strategy in agri-tech innovation.
The board’s decision on September 13 will be closely watched by market participants, analysts, and institutional investors. If approved, the actions could set a precedent for other SME-listed agri-tech firms seeking to balance shareholder rewards with technological advancement.
