The sharp correction has left the street debating whether more downside is likely, or if the slump offers a long-term entry point.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">The selloff follows the Union Cabinet\u2019s clearance of the <em>Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025<\/em>, which aims to tighten oversight of money-based gaming platforms citing risks of addiction, money laundering, and fraud. The move has triggered sector-wide concerns, even as Nazara clarified the bill will have no direct impact on its revenues or EBITDA.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cDespite the company\u2019s clarification, sentiment around the broader online gaming space has soured. Nazara has slipped nearly 15% in recent sessions as investors brace for regulatory overhang,&#8221; said Harshal Dasani, Business Head, INVasset.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Adding to investor jitters is Nazara\u2019s associate, Moonshine Technologies, operator of PokerBaazi. Nazara\u2019s 46% stake, worth over Rs 1,000 crore, has raised fears of a potential valuation hit if real-money gaming takes a knock. Analysts, however, point out that real-money gaming does not contribute to Nazara\u2019s consolidated revenues, which are instead driven by e-sports, gamified learning, adtech, and publishing.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The stock has also been in focus for marquee investors. Rekha Jhunjhunwala fully exited her 7.06% holding in June 2025, cashing out Rs 334 crore at an average of Rs 1,225 per share. But market veterans like Madhusudan Kela and Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath continue to hold stakes, signalling faith in the company\u2019s long-term story.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><strong>What should investors do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Analysts advise caution in the near term as regulatory clarity emerges, warning of continued volatility. However, they believe Nazara\u2019s diversified model and healthy balance sheet make it a structural play on India\u2019s gaming ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">\u201cSustained earnings delivery and reduced noise around Moonshine will be key sentiment triggers,&#8221; Dasani said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/aparna-deb-20948.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Aparna Deb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Aparna Deb is a Subeditor and writes for the business vertical of News18.com.
