A stock split is a corporate action where a company divides its existing shares into multiple new shares, increasing the total number of outstanding shares but decreasing the price per share.
Though it does not change the overall market capitalisation of the stock, it can make the shares more accessible to a wider range of investors by lowering the price per share.
NDTV Profit had reported on July 9 that a positive corporate action is expected.
The total promoter holding is 74.96%, as per the latest shareholding data on the BSE. Nearly 18 lakh retail investors own a combined 4.8% equity. Foreign portfolio investors have a 12.46% stake.
