The company's board approved the sub-division of existing one equity share having a face value of Rs 10 each into five equity shares of Rs 2 each fully paid-up.

The dates for the 15th AGM and the record date for the share split will be announced in due course, it added.

The rationale behind the split is to improve liquidity of the equity shares of the company in the capital markets through widening shareholder base and to make it more affordable for retail investors.

The sub-division is expected to be completed within 3 months from the date of member’s approval.
