According to the official website of Motilal Oswal, "Consolidation of shares is a strategic move taken by companies to decrease the number of outstanding shares by merging them and raising the face value of each share. As a result of this process, the total number of outstanding shares decreases while the value of each individual share increases.

There are several reasons why companies may choose to consolidate their shares. Boosting the per-share value of the stock is a frequently cited motive behind this action. The company can make its shares more appealing to investors by decreasing the total number of outstanding shares and increasing each share's value."

As per Motilal Oswal, benefits of share consolidation involve attracting potential investors, meeting stock listing requirements, avoiding major exchange actions, safety measures by decreasing the number of outstanding shares and boosting the stock price.
