Impact Assessment

This circular has minimal market-wide impact as it relates to routine settlement operations. The impact is limited to:

  • Specific Market Participants: Only affects those with pending delivery obligations in the listed scrips
  • Price Impact: Demat auctions may cause temporary price movements in affected scrips, particularly those with larger quantities
  • Liquidity: Minor and temporary impact on liquidity for the specific securities listed
  • Operational: Standard settlement process ensuring smooth delivery vs payment mechanism

The auction quantities for most blue-chip stocks are relatively small and unlikely to cause significant market disruption. Higher volume auctions in smaller stocks (like Tilak Ventures, Wardwizard Innovations) may see more pronounced temporary effects.

Impact Justification

Routine demat auction for physical delivery settlement affecting specific quantities of select scrips. Limited market-wide impact as it relates to settlement process rather than regulatory changes.
