As per the exchange filing, HAL’s board of directors will convene a meeting on June 27 to discuss and evaluate the proposal for the stock split.
The anticipation of this decision has generated positive market sentiment, resulting in increased buying activity in the company’s shares.

Trading of Shares Stopped for Them
In light of the stock split announcement made by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in its exchange filing, certain restrictions have been put in place regarding the trading of HAL shares.

The designated persons refer to individuals who hold positions of authority within the company, such as directors, key executives, and other top-level management personnel.
The trading ban will remain in effect until 48 hours after the board meeting scheduled for June 27, during which the decision regarding the stock split will be made.

March Quarter Was Not Good for HAL
During the March 2023 quarter, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) experienced a decline in profit compared to the previous year.
The company’s profit decreased by 8.8 percent year-on-year, amounting to Rs 2,831.18 crore in the March quarter.
This figure represents a decrease from the profit of Rs 3,105.17 crore achieved in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
While the profit declined, HAL witnessed a positive development in its revenue during the same period.
The company’s revenue showed growth, increasing by 8 percent to reach Rs 12,494.67 crore in the March quarter. This signifies a rise in revenue compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.
It is worth noting that despite the decrease in profit, the growth in revenue indicates that HAL was able to generate higher sales during the March 2023 quarter.
The decline in profit could be attributed to various factors such as increased costs, changes in market dynamics, or other operational challenges faced by the company during that particular period.
