Impact Assessment

Market Impact: Medium - The auction affects 102 different securities across various sectors. While most quantities are relatively small, some securities like TIMEX GROUP (263,431 shares), PRAKASH STEELAGE (73,002 shares), and others with large volumes could experience price volatility during the auction process.

Operational Impact: Affects trading members who have failed to deliver securities in the normal settlement cycle. These members will need to procure shares through the auction mechanism, potentially at premium prices, which may result in financial penalties or losses.

Investor Impact: Shareholders of the listed securities may observe temporary price movements during the auction. The inclusion of well-known stocks like INFOSYS, TITAN COMPANY, VEDANTA, and major banks suggests broader market participation in this settlement cycle.

Sectoral Distribution: The auction covers diverse sectors including banking, technology, metals, mutual funds, power, infrastructure, and consumer goods, indicating widespread delivery shortfalls across market segments rather than sector-specific issues.

Impact Justification

Routine demat auction affecting multiple securities with delivery shortfalls requiring compulsory settlement through auction mechanism
