Stock Splits in Focus: Nazara, ZyduMCX, Tata Investment & More

If you’ve been hanging around Dalal Street lately, you’ve probably heard the buzzword of the season: stock splits. Suddenly, everyone seems to be doing it — from gaming player Nazara Technologies to FMCG brand Zydus Wellness, from the commodities giant MCX to even Tata Investment. And guess what? More names are lining up.

But what’s behind all this excitement? In simple terms, splits make shares cheaper per piece, attract more small investors, and get trading volumes buzzing. Let’s walk through the highlights.

Nazara Technologies: Gaming Gets Friendlier

Nazara, the homegrown gaming and esports company, is planning something big. Its board is meeting on August 12 to talk about a bonus issue and a stock split. The moment the news broke, the stock jumped about 2%.

Zydus Wellness: From ₹Big to ₹Bite-Sized

Zydus Wellness — the folks behind Complan and Sugar Free — already went ahead with a 1:5 split. Remember, a split doesn’t magically change the company’s profits or growth. But it does add some extra liquidity to the market.

MCX: Record Profits + A Split Treat

MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange) just posted its highest-ever quarterly revenue (₹405.8 crore, up 60% YoY) and an 83% jump in profits. And on top of that? The board rolled out a 1:5 stock split.

Tata Investment: A First for the Tata Giant

Now here’s the headline grabber — Tata Investment Corporation. For the very first time in its history, the company has approved a 1:10 stock split. That means one share of ₹10 face value will become ten shares of ₹1 each. Shareholders still need to give it the green light, but the market has already cheered the move.

More Names Joining the Party

It’s not just the big guys. A bunch of mid- and small-cap players are also lining up for splits:

• Websol Energy System — announced a 1:10 split in the booming clean-energy space.
  
• Tourism Finance Corporation of India (TFCI) — going for a 1:5 split.
  
• Kesar Enterprises — recently traded ex-split on a 10:1 basis.
  
• Nirman Agri Genetics — considering a 1:10 split plus a bonus issue.
  

And if you zoom out, 1:10 splits seem to be the hot favourite. Think Nestlé India, MRF, Page Industries — and now Tata Investment — all going that route.

Why Should You Care?

Here’s the deal:

• For traders — splits usually pump up volumes and volatility. Perfect for short-term plays (if you’re quick on your feet).

• For long-term investors — the fundamentals still matter most. A split doesn’t make a weak company strong. But if the story is solid, it’s a nice entry point.

The Bottom Line

From Nazara’s gaming bets to Zydus’ FMCG strength, from MCX’s record profits to Tata Investment’s first-ever split, the split wave is hard to ignore. More shares, more participation, more buzz.

But here’s the thing: a split is like slicing a pizza — you get more pieces, but the pizza is still the same size. What matters is how tasty the pizza is — in market terms, the company’s earnings, growth, and strategy.

For Indian traders, these splits bring opportunities to ride short-term momentum. For long-term investors, they open doors to companies that may have felt out of reach before. Either way, the message from corporate India is loud and clear: they want more people at the table.
