Quantitative Impact:
- Existing paid-up equity share capital: ₹79,80,00,000 comprising 79,80,00,000 equity shares of Re.1/- each
- Reduced to: ₹1,59,60,000 comprising 1,59,60,000 equity shares of Re.1/- each by cancelling 78,20,40,000 shares
- Post-consolidation: Paid-up capital of ₹1,59,60,000 comprising 15,96,000 equity shares of ₹10/- each
- Consolidation ratio: 1:10 (1 new share of ₹10/- for 10 existing shares of Re.1/-)
