Websol Energy Stock Split: Websol Energy Systems Limited, which has surprised investors with a 6665% return in the last six years, has announced its first 1:10 stock split. This process will be completed by October 2025, and approval will be sought at the upcoming AGM on September 29. The company aims to make its shares more affordable. Alongside this, Websol has also presented a significant expansion plan in its solar business by adding 4 GW of new capacity and investing ₹3,000 crore.
What does Stock Split mean
The company has informed that its current share face value is ₹10. Now, one share will be divided into 10 smaller shares, each with a face value of ₹1. This means that if an investor currently holds one share, they will have 10 shares after the stock split. However, it is important to note that the total value of the company and the holding value of investors will not change. This step has been taken solely to make the shares more affordable for small investors.
Websol Energy has informed that the stock split process is expected to be completed by October 2025. For this, the company first needs to obtain approval from its shareholders. For this purpose, the company's 35th Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on September 29, 2025. This meeting will be conducted through video conferencing and audio-visual means.
Company's Emphasis on Expansion Plan
Along with the stock split, the company has also announced the rapid expansion of its business. The company states that it will work on increasing the production capacity of solar cells and modules. Under this, a total of 4 GW of new capacity will be added. This expansion plan will be completed in two phases. The first phase is planned to be completed by June 2027, and the second phase by June 2028.
Approximately ₹3,000 crore will be invested in this project. For this, the company will utilize bank loans, equity, and its internal funds. Moreover, the company will also establish a new subsidiary for this expansion. Currently, preparations are underway to name it "Websol Renewables" or something similar.
Company's Business
Websol Energy manufactures photographic crystalline solar cells and modules in India. These products are used in the manufacturing of solar energy panels. These panels are utilized to meet industrial and commercial needs. Amidst the rapidly growing demand for green energy, Websol Energy's market presence is consistently strengthening.
Share Performance
Websol Energy's shares have provided tremendous gains to investors in the stock market. On September 1, 2025, its share closed at ₹1343.05 on the BSE. This is a 1.45 percent increase compared to the previous trading day. The company's market capitalization has reached approximately ₹5668.52 crore at present.
In terms of returns, it has delivered a stellar 6665% return in the last five years. In just three years, the share has returned 1377%, and in two years, it has provided approximately 988% return.
Opportunity for Small Investors
The decision of the stock split will make it easier for small investors to buy shares of this company. Currently, due to the high share price, many small investors were unable to invest. However, after the stock split, these shares will be available at a lower price. This is likely to further expand the company's investor base.
