MRF is famous for having the highest share price among Indian stocks. People naturally ask what it was in 1980. The honest answer: we could not find a verified MRF share price for 1980 in any reliable public source, and we will not make one up.
Quick answer
- 1980 price: not available from reliable sources we could access.
- What we do know: in 1980 MRF entered a technical collaboration with the B.F. Goodrich Tyre Company of the USA. That is a business event, not a listing date or price.
- Why the price is so high: reports say MRF last issued bonus shares in 1970 and 1975 and has not split its stock since.
Why old MRF prices are hard to find
Electronic price data for Indian stocks starts only in the mid-1990s on most public sites. A discussion thread we found says data for MRF shows up from 1995, and it quotes one price for April 1993. Another source says about ₹15 in 1993. These numbers do not match each other and neither is from an official record, so we do not rely on them.
What recent prices look like
| Date (2026) | Price shown |
|---|---|
| 5 June | about ₹1,23,505 |
| 22 July | about ₹1,33,250 |
| 3 August | about ₹1,33,885 |
Why the price never fell through a split
When a company splits its shares, one share becomes two or more and the price per share falls. MRF has not done that for decades, so its price kept climbing with the business instead. That is why one MRF share costs more than a lakh of rupees. A high price does not mean the stock is expensive or better, only that the share count is small.
How to check the 1980 price yourself
- Ask the company: MRF’s investor relations team can tell you where early records are available.
- Look at old annual reports, which sometimes list a 10-year or longer price range.
- Check the BSE archive and old newspaper financial pages (the library of a business newspaper may help).
- Treat any chart that shows a precise 1980 price with caution unless the source and adjustment method are clear.
What to track every quarter
- Notices on the NSE and BSE announcement pages.
- Orders of the NCLT, SEBI or other regulators, where relevant.
- The company’s latest filings and the auditor’s remarks.
- Any statement from the resolution professional or the company.
