Impact Assessment

Market Impact: Medium - affects 156 securities across multiple sectors. While quantities for most major stocks are relatively small, some mid/small-cap stocks have significant quantities (e.g., Mehai Techno: 78,314 shares, Indian Infot: 34,240 shares, Remedium Life: 31,000 shares).

Operational Impact: Specific trading members with delivery failures in these securities will need to participate in the auction. The auction ensures market integrity by completing settlement obligations.

Price Impact: Potential temporary price volatility in securities with larger auction quantities, particularly for less liquid mid and small-cap stocks. Major large-cap stocks with small quantities (like Reliance, Infosys) unlikely to see material impact.

Investor Impact: Minimal for retail investors. This is primarily a settlement mechanism between trading members to fulfill delivery obligations.

Impact Justification

Routine settlement auction notice affecting multiple securities with varying quantities; impacts specific trading members with delivery obligations but is a standard market operation.
