Buddha Bhumi Nepal Share Price Adjusted
13th February 2026, Kathmandu
Buddhabhumi Nepal Hydropower Company Limited (BNHC) has reached a critical turning point in its capital expansion journey. As of mid-February 2026, the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) has officially recalibrated the company’s share price to account for its 100 percent rights offering.

This adjustment follows the book closure process, effectively setting a new baseline for the stock in the secondary market.
Understanding the Share Price Adjustment
The revision of Buddhabhumi Nepal’s share price is a technical procedure required whenever a company issues rights shares. Because a 1:1 ratio doubles the number of shares in circulation, the market price must be adjusted to maintain valuation equilibrium.
Previous Closing Price: Rs 526.20
Rights Ratio: 1:1 (100 percent)
Adjusted Market Price: Rs 313.10
This new figure of Rs 313.10 is not a reflection of financial loss but a mathematical redistribution of the company’s total market capitalization across a larger number of shares. For investors, this ensures that the “ex-rights” trading begins at a fair and transparent starting point.
Key Rights Issue Details
Buddhabhumi Nepal has received formal approval from the Securities Board of Nepal to raise Rs 40 crore through this rights issue. The funds are primarily intended to strengthen the company’s financial position and manage existing liabilities related to its hydropower operations.
Total Rights Units: 4,000,000 shares
Par Value: Rs 100 per share
Paid-up Capital (Post-Issue): Rs 80 crore
Issue Manager: NIC Asia Capital Limited
Eligibility and Book Closure
The “Book Closure” date was set for Falgun 1, 2082. This date is the most critical factor for investors determining their eligibility for the new shares.

Eligible Shareholders: Only those who held BNHC shares until the last trading hour of Magh 29, 2082, are entitled to apply for the 1:1 rights shares.
Application Window: While the book closure has been completed, the official dates for the subscription period (when you can actually pay for and claim the shares) are expected to be announced by the company in the coming days.
Market Trading Resumption
Trading of BNHC shares is scheduled to resume on the next business day following the adjustment. Since the adjustment period coincided with the Maha Shivaratri public holiday in Nepal, the market remained closed on Sunday. Trading will officially reopen on Monday with Rs 313.10 as the reference price.
Market observers anticipate potential volatility as the stock settles into its new valuation. Investors often view rights adjustments as an opportunity to enter at a lower nominal price, though the long-term value remains tied to the company’s operational performance.
Strategic Outlook for BNHC
Buddhabhumi Nepal operates the Lower Tadi Khola Hydropower Project (4.993 MW) in Nuwakot. Recent financial reports for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2082/83 show a net profit of Rs 20.48 million, a significant improvement from the previous quarter’s Rs 7.51 million.
By doubling its capital through this rights issue, the company aims to:
Reduce Interest Expenses: Paying down high-interest loans to improve bottom-line profitability.
Operational Stability: Ensuring sufficient working capital for the Lower Tadi Khola station.
Future Dividends: Clearing debt is a prerequisite for many hydropower companies before they can begin distributing cash dividends to shareholders.
Conclusion
The adjustment of Buddhabhumi Nepal’s share price to Rs 313.10 marks the final technical step before the actual issuance of the 1:1 rights shares. While the “paper value” of individual shares has decreased, the total equity of eligible shareholders remains intact through their right to purchase new shares at par value. Investors are advised to keep their Mero Share accounts active and check for the upcoming subscription opening date to ensure they do not miss their entitlement.
