Here’s what this means — and what to watch out for — if you hold or are tracking the stock:

🔑 Key Details of the Split

Each existing share with a face value of ₹10 is being subdivided into 5 shares of face value ₹2 each.
The split is designed to make shares more affordable and to boost liquidity & trading participation, especially from retail investors.
The record date for eligibility was set for today. Those holding shares before that will receive their subdivided shares.

Since today is the ex-split date, the share price is being adjusted accordingly. In simple terms, the price per share will drop (roughly to one-fifth) to reflect the increased number of shares outstanding.
For example: the stock closed at ~₹709.40 on Friday, and in today’s trading, the adjusted opening price was around ₹141.80 (before market forces act).
Despite the large “drop” in per-share price, the total value of one’s holdings remains unchanged (excluding normal market movements).
Interestingly, post-adjustment, the stock has seen strong buying interest, rising ~19% in early trade from the adjusted price.

Your total investment doesn’t change just because of the split; you’ll now hold more shares at a lower price each.
The split doesn’t impact the company’s fundamentals, earnings, or market cap (barring investor sentiment).
It may take 1–2 working days for the new shares to reflect in your Demat account.
Any short-term volatility is possible as the market adjusts to the new share structure.
For long-term investors, this could improve liquidity and accessibility, making it easier to trade smaller quantities.
