Defence PSU stock BEML approved a stock split in its board meeting held on July 21, 2025 in a 1:2 ratio. The proposal, aimed at enhancing liquidity and increasing retail investor participation, involves splitting one equity share of face value ₹10 into two equity shares of face value ₹5 each, fully paid up.
This move, however, is subject to the approval of the company’s shareholders. Once approved, the company will announce a record date to determine the eligibility of shareholders for the split. The process of implementation is expected to take approximately two to three months from the date of shareholder approval.
According to the document shared by BEML, the issued, paid-up and subscribed share capital of the company currently stands at ₹41,64,45,000, comprising 4,16,44,500 equity shares of ₹10 each. Post-split, this will be divided into 8,32,89,000 equity shares of ₹5 each.
This sub-division is expected to improve the affordability of shares for smaller investors and boost trading volumes, thereby unlocking greater value for existing shareholders.
