Impact Assessment

Market Impact: Medium - Affects 117 securities across multiple sectors. While the auction is a routine settlement process, the large quantities in certain scrips (particularly VIKAS LIFECARE, Sagility Limited, and Lancer Container) could lead to temporary price volatility in those specific securities.

Operational Impact: Medium - Trading members with outstanding delivery obligations must arrange for auction participation or face close-out at auction-determined prices, which may be unfavorable. The wide range of affected securities requires careful tracking by market participants.

Liquidity Impact: The auction may temporarily affect liquidity in the affected securities, particularly those with larger quantities under auction. However, for highly liquid large-cap stocks like SBI, TATA MOTORS, and VEDANTA, the impact should be minimal given relatively small auction quantities compared to daily trading volumes.

Impact Justification

Demat auctions are routine settlement processes affecting specific securities with delivery shortfalls. Impact is limited to those with outstanding delivery obligations in listed securities.
