Bata India may consider the option of stock split and issuing bonus shares at an "appropriate time", said Uday Khanna.

If the stock price of Bata continues to rule high and if we get sustainability at that, we can consider a stock split at appropriate time," said Khanna. The option of stock split and bonus issue was not on immediate agenda of the board of the company, added Khanna.
