Consolidation

Share consolidation combines multiple shares into fewer shares and raises face value proportionately under NSE/BSE corporate-action processes.

Indian companies process consolidations through exchange corporate-action calendars with demat credit of the new face-value shares.

Consolidation is sometimes called a reverse split in global terminology.

F&O contract adjustments may apply when a consolidated stock is in the derivatives segment.

After consolidation, the share count falls while proportionate ownership stays the same.
