Shares of A-1 Ltd, a notable multibagger stock, locked in a 5% upper circuit during Monday's trading session, reaching a price of ₹1,840.90. This sharp upward movement was triggered by the company's official announcement regarding the record dates for its previously approved corporate actions—a bonus share issue and a stock split.
Key Dates for Bonus Shares and Stock Split Finalised

The board of A-1 Ltd had given its approval for these corporate actions on December 22. The specifics are as follows:

- 10:1 Stock Split: Each existing equity share with a face value of ₹10 will be sub-divided into ten smaller equity shares, each with a face value of ₹1.
Strategic Push into Electric Vehicle Sector
Alongside the bonus and split announcements on December 22, A-1 Ltd revealed a significant strategic investment in the green energy space. The company has increased its partnership interest and shareholding in A-1 Sureja Industries, a manufacturer of battery-operated two-wheelers sold under the brand 'Hurry-E'.
The stake has been raised from 45% to 51% at an enterprise valuation of ₹100 crore. This acquisition of a majority stake positions A-1 Ltd as one of the first listed chemical companies in India to hold direct equity in a certified electric vehicle manufacturing enterprise.
The company stated that this decision recognizes the rapid global shift towards green energy and sustainable transport. It is also considering expanding the operations of A-1 Sureja Industries into manufacturing and distribution of EVs and other clean mobility fields. This expansion would include research and development (R&D), EV component manufacturing, and building smart charging infrastructure.
A-1 Sureja Industries reported revenues of ₹43.46 crore for the financial year 2023-24. The company is now transitioning from the R&D phase to commercial rollout and is projecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 250%.
