Adani Power recently executed a stock split in a 1:5 ratio and fixed September 22, 2025 as the record date to determine eligibility for the subdivision. This means each existing equity share of face value ₹10 was subdivided into five shares of face value ₹2.
About
Adani Power is a major private power producer in India. The company’s corporate actions—like stock splits—are watched closely because they can change liquidity and retail participation in the stock without changing an investor’s proportional holding.
Stock Split — What happened and why
The board approved a 1:5 stock split to make individual shares more affordable and to improve liquidity. The shares turned ex-split around the record date, which caused the per-share market price to adjust downward proportionally (an accounting/market adjustment, not a loss of investor value). Media reports explained large percentage moves around the ex-date as adjustment effects rather than fundamental value erosion.
Stock Price reaction
After the split became effective and trading resumed on an ex-split basis, Adani Power saw volatile moves: the scrip hit intraday gains (about a 20% rally from the adjusted open in some sessions) as liquidity and buying interest returned. On the day of resumption, intraday highs were reported in the ~₹168–₹170 range on some exchanges after the split adjustment. These price moves were widely covered by market press.
Dividend & Bonus
- Dividend: Adani Power has not been a regular dividend payer in recent years; public dividend records show no meaningful payout activity in the latest reporting window. Investors seeking dividend income should verify the company’s official announcements before forming expectations.
- Bonus: There is no widely reported bonus issue tied to this stock split; the corporate action in focus is the sub-division (split) rather than a bonus share issuance. Check exchange filings for any separate corporate actions.
Corporate events & “multibagger” talk
Corporate events (results, regulator decisions, broker views, and stock splits) together shape sentiment. A number of brokerages have given bullish targets for Adani Power in recent months; for example, some reports cite analyst targets that reflect optimism about capacity expansion and earnings recovery. That said, labels like “multibagger” are speculative—investors should treat such phrases cautiously and read analyst reports in full.
Key takeaways for investors
- Record date: September 22, 2025 (eligibility for the 1:5 split).
- A split changes share count and per-share price, not the overall value of holdings; apparent large percentage drops around the ex-date are technical adjustments.
- Post-split trading can be more volatile—expect wider swings and monitor liquidity and order book depth.
- Check official exchange filings and company announcements for dividend, bonus or further corporate-event details before acting.

FAQs
Q1: What was the Adani Power record date for the stock split?
A: The company fixed September 22, 2025 as the record date for the 1:5 stock split.
Q2: How does the stock split affect my holding value?
A: A 1:5 split increases the number of shares you hold fivefold and reduces the per-share price proportionally. Your overall holding value (number of shares × price) remains essentially the same immediately after the split, subject to normal market moves.
Q3: Did the split lead to a permanent price fall?
A: No. The sharp percentage fall reported around the ex-date was largely an accounting/market price adjustment because of the split; subsequently, the stock experienced buying interest and posted intraday gains. Market sentiment and fundamentals determine longer-term direction.
