While the total market capitalization remains the same, each share's face value is reduced proportionally, improving stock liquidity and making it more accessible to retail investors. In this case, each share of MOS Utility with a face value of Rs 10 will be split into five shares with a face value of Rs 2 each. The stock split aims to encourage greater retail participation and improve trading volumes in the counter. The move also reflects the company's confidence in its long-term growth trajectory. With the stock currently trading at relatively higher levels, the split is expected to make it more affordable to a broader pool of investors. Live Events Stock splits typically indicate management's optimism and may result in higher retail interest in the short term. However, they also caution that a split does not change the underlying fundamentals of the company, and investors must assess the company's financials before making investment decisions. As the stock split becomes effective post-record date, shareholders on record as of August 8 will see their existing holdings adjusted accordingly. For example, an investor holding 100 shares of face value Rs 10 will now hold 500 shares of face value Rs 2 each, with no change in total investment value.

Rupee regains ground ahead of RBI rate call; US tariff risks linger
The Indian rupee inched up on Wednesday, notching small gains before the central bank 's policy decision, set against the backdrop of fresh trade frictions with the United States. The rupee was quoted at 87.74 against the U.S. dollar at 09:42 am IST, up from 87.80 on Tuesday. The Indian currency recovered despite losses in most Asian peers.

" Markets are firmly positioned for no change in rates, especially after U.S. tariff developments. A rate cut now would be a real surprise and could trigger a decent reaction." The Reserve Bank of India will announce its interest rate decision at 10:00 a.m. IST. A majority of economists in a Reuters poll expect the key policy rate, which stands at 5.50%, to remain at the same level. Live Events Major lenders, including State Bank of India and ICICI Bank , are calling for a rate cut, citing the need to support growth. The RBI's policy decision comes at a time of escalating trade tensions between India and U.S. following President Donald Trump 's fresh threat of substantial tariffs over India's continued purchases of Russian oil. The remarks have unnerved markets and added pressure on the rupee, which was within a whisker of its all-time low of 87.95 on Tuesday. With uncertainty around how far Washington might go on tariffs, traders are closely watching how much the central bank will factor in these external risks while framing its policy guidance.
