  • A formal record date for the share subdivision will be announced once investors ratify the plan in a forthcoming meeting.
  • BEML shares dipped about 0.5% on Monday, trading near ₹4,380 apiece following the recommendation.

  • The proposal follows strong financial results, including a 12% rise in quarterly net profit and record annual earnings bolstered by export contract wins.
