Bhagwati Hydropower Bonus Shares Credited to Demat Accounts
10th March 2026, Kathmandu
Bhagwati Hydropower Development Company Limited has successfully completed the distribution of its 14 percent bonus shares to eligible investors. Following the formal approval granted during the company’s 25th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on Kartik 2, 2082, these shares have now been officially credited to the demat accounts of shareholders. This corporate action represents a significant milestone for the company and its investors, reflecting both the firm’s financial performance and its ongoing commitment to enhancing shareholder value.

The distribution process involved the issuance of 832,926 units of new shares, which have been duly registered with both the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) and the CDS and Clearing Limited. For investors, this means the additional shares are now fully liquid and available for trading in the secondary market. Eligibility for this dividend was determined by a book closure date of Ashoj 21, 2082, meaning only those who held shares by the end of the trading day on Ashoj 20, 2082, were entitled to receive the 14 percent bonus.
For shareholders who may be unfamiliar with the mechanics of this distribution, it is important to understand that bonus shares are effectively a form of dividend paid in the form of additional equity rather than cash. By increasing the number of shares held by an investor without requiring further capital expenditure, the company effectively capitalizes its retained earnings. While this move does not change the total market capitalization of the company, it does increase the liquidity of the stock, which can be beneficial for long-term investors.
Shareholders can easily verify the receipt of these shares through several channels:
Online Demat Portal: Most depository participants (DPs) provide an online dashboard where investors can check their updated holdings.

Mero Share: This is the most common platform in Nepal for investors to view their updated share statements and verify that the 14 percent bonus has been reflected.
Broker Portfolio: Investors can consult their registered stockbroker, who can provide an updated statement of the portfolio showing the increased share count.
It is worth noting that for hydropower companies in Nepal, such distributions are often a sign of operational maturity and a stable cash flow position. As the company continues to focus on its renewable energy projects, the decision to issue bonus shares suggests a focus on reinvestment and capital strengthening. This move aligns with broader efforts in the Nepali financial ecosystem to encourage long-term holding patterns among retail investors.
The successful listing of these 832,926 shares signifies that the entire administrative procedure—from AGM approval to registration with central regulatory bodies—has been handled in compliance with NEPSE guidelines. Shareholders who received these shares are now free to hold them as part of their long-term investment strategy or trade them based on their personal financial objectives and market analysis.
In conclusion, the completion of the bonus share distribution by Bhagwati Hydropower Development Company Limited provides a clear update for all stakeholders. As the company advances its operational goals in Nepal’s critical hydropower sector, such actions reinforce the relationship between the company and its investor base. Shareholders are encouraged to access their Mero Share accounts to confirm the crediting of these shares and ensure their portfolio records are current.
