Operational Impact: Medium - brokers with delivery failures must participate in the auction, potentially facing higher costs to fulfill obligations. The auction includes high-value stocks like Adani Green, Dr. Reddy’s, and Tata Steel, which may see temporary price pressure.

Investor Impact: Low to Medium - primarily affects specific brokers who failed to deliver securities; end investors receiving shares through auction will get delivery albeit at potentially different prices than original transaction.
