MCX is making its shares more affordable with a 1:5 stock split

Business Dec 18, 2025

MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange of India) recently announced its first-ever stock split—so for every one share you own, you'll soon have five.
This kicks in on January 2, 2026, which is the record date to determine eligibility for the stock split.
Basically, this means each ₹10 share will become five shares with a face value of ₹2 each. The total value you hold stays the same; it's just easier for more people to buy in.

Why this matters for investors

The main goal? Make MCX shares more accessible and get more people trading.
Even though the stock was flat on December 18, it's actually up 25% over the last six months and has jumped over 58% this year.
With a market cap topping ₹50,895 crore, this move is expected to bring even more action to the exchange.
