As part of the proposal, one share with a face value of Rs 2 will be split into two equity shares with a reduced face value of Rs 1, according to an exchange filing on Thursday.
The share split is subject to the approval from the shareholders that is expected to be received during the extraordinary general meeting scheduled on Oct. 26. Also, the record date for the share split will be informed to the stock exchanges in due course, the filing said.
