Hindusthan Urban Infrastructure Announces 1:5 Stock Split; Record Date 27 February 2026

Hindusthan Urban Infrastructure Limited has cleared a key corporate step that could lift liquidity in its shares. The board has set 27th February, 2026 as the record date for a 1:5 stock split, a move that aligns with SEBI rules and has already secured shareholder approval through a postal ballot.

The share price of Hindusthan Urban Infrastructure Ltd (HUIL) has reacted strongly around this development. The stock gained 2.23% on the BSE on 17th February, 2026 to close at Rs 2,405.95, after touching an intraday high of Rs 2,799.00 following a strong opening at Rs 2,630.00.

"We wish to inform you that the Board of Directors, at its meeting held today i.e. 13th February, 2026, has fixed Friday, 27th February, 2026 as the 'Record Date' for the purpose of determining the members, eligible for the sub-division/split of the existing equity shares of the Company," said Hindusthan Urban in a statement. This follows communication of the decision to BSE Limited.

Under the approved share sub-division, each equity share with a face value of Rs 10 will convert into five equity shares with a face value of Rs 2 each. All new shares will be fully paid-up and will rank on the same footing. Investors recorded as shareholders on 27th February, 2026 will receive the additional shares automatically.

The board expects the lower face value and increased number of shares to make the stock more accessible to smaller investors. A reduced per-share market price could widen retail participation and may support higher trading volumes. This corporate action is part of broader efforts to improve market depth and support long-term shareholder value.

Trading in Hindusthan Urban Infrastructure shares has already been heavy, with more than 8,000 shares changing hands on 17th February, 2026, higher than usual activity. The counter also hit a 20% upper circuit on 16th February, 2026, underscoring strong market interest after the 1:5 split announcement and confirmation of the record date.
