Knowledge Marine & Engineering Works Announces 1:5 Stock Split

Knowledge Marine & Engineering Works Limited (KMEW) is set to undergo a 1:5 stock split, with the face value of its equity shares being reduced from ₹5 to ₹1 per share.

According to an NSE circular issued on October 27, 2026, the stock split will take effect from November 6, 2026.

Following the split, every one existing share will be divided into five equity shares, increasing the number of shares held by investors without changing their proportionate ownership in the company.

What Does the KMEW 1:5 Stock Split Mean for Shareholders?

If you currently hold 100 shares of Knowledge Marine & Engineering Works, your holding will increase to 500 shares after the stock split.

However, a stock split does not create additional investment value on its own. The share price adjusts proportionately, while the total value of your investment remains broadly unchanged immediately after the split, assuming no other price movements.

Stock splits can make individual shares more affordable for retail investors and may improve trading liquidity, although neither outcome is guaranteed.
