Shares of Cupid Limited surged in afternoon trade on Tuesday after the condom and personal care maker’s bonus issue ex-date kicked in, with the stock trading at ₹93.05 on the NSE — up 1.58 per cent from its previous close of ₹91.60 — as of 1.07 PM.

The company had announced a 4:1 bonus issue, meaning shareholders on record as of March 9, 2026 will receive four additional shares for every one held. The ex-date and record date were both set for March 9, making today the first full trading session reflecting the adjusted price.

Trading activity has been unusually heavy. Over 452.75 lakh shares changed hands by early afternoon, with traded value reaching ₹424.45 crore. The buy-sell ratio is skewed heavily toward buyers at 79.41 per cent, against 22.59 per cent sellers, suggesting strong retail interest.

The stock touched an intraday high of ₹95.85 before paring gains, and remains well within its 20 per cent circuit band of ₹109.90 on the upper side. The one-week return stands at nearly 21 per cent, while the one-year return is a striking 611 per cent.

Total market capitalisation stands at ₹12,518.79 crore as of mid-session. The stock’s P/E ratio of 147.54 and annualised volatility of 67.82 per cent signal that while investor appetite is strong, the counter carries significant speculative risk.

Nearly 5,000 tonnes of diesel are being imported from India to Bangladesh today through a pipeline. This diesel will enter Bangladesh via the Parbatipur border. The chairman of Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC), Muhammad Rezanur Rahman, informed this.

“We have an agreement with India, and according to that agreement, India will supply 180,000 tonnes of diesel to Bangladesh via the pipeline each year. The 5,000 tonnes of diesel that is arriving now is a part of that agreement”, he told ANI over the phone.

“According to the agreement, at least 90,000 tonnes of diesel should be imported to Bangladesh within six months. The consignment arriving today is 5,000 tonnes, and we hope that within the next two months, we will bring in the total diesel amount for the entire six months”, BPC chairman said.

Earlier in the week, Bangladesh on Sunday, conducted drives to inspect the fuel stock situation, Bangladesh Energy Ministry said.”In the current crisis situation, various media outlets have reported that some unscrupulous traders are illegally stockpiling fuel in an attempt to create an artificial shortage in the market,” Bangladesh Energy Ministry said in a statement.

“To address this crisis, the government has already fixed fuel supply limits based on vehicle categories. Nevertheless, it has been observed that at various petrol pumps/filling stations, fuel is being sold in excess of the government-approved limit, additional stock is being hoarded for excessive profit, and there are tendencies of selling fuel on the open market and engaging in smuggling,” it added.

In this context, Bangladesh government conducted mobile court drives in order to prevent illegal stockpiling of fuel, sale beyond the prescribed limit etc. Information regarding the Mobile Court operations conducted by the Executive Magistrate in capital Dhaka: City Filling Station, Tejgaon, Dhaka (MPL) – Dry since yesterday. Operations will resume once fuel arrives shortly. Clean Fuel, Tejgaon (POPLC) – Operating in compliance with all regulations.
