The Board of engineering and construction company IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd. will meet on January 4 to consider a proposal for the split of the equity shares of the company.
The mid-cap company, in a filing on Monday, said that the board will consider changing the share capital by sub-division/split of existing equity shares having a face value of Rs 10 each, fully paid up.
IRB Infra, however, did not disclose the share split ratio.

In an interaction with CNBC-TV18 last week, the management of IRB Infra said that majority of the company's debt is project-based and they don't see that going any higher. It is also confident of a 20 percent growth in toll collections for the year.
