Compliance Requirements

  • Market participants and brokers must apply revised ST-ASM margin and trading restrictions for all newly added securities from February 24, 2026
  • Securities moving out of ST-ASM and into LT-ASM or ESM will be subject to the respective framework’s trading conditions
  • For SME scrips (marked @), ST-ASM conditions apply specifically within the SME segment
  • Scrips marked as per NSE (*) — applicability confirmed jointly with NSE

Important Dates

  • Effective Date: February 24, 2026 — all changes to ST-ASM framework applicability come into force
  • Circular Date: February 23, 2026

Impact Assessment

The addition of Novartis India Ltd (a large-cap, widely tracked pharmaceutical company) is the most market-significant inclusion in this update, likely to attract retail and institutional investor attention. The remaining additions are predominantly small/micro-cap and SME securities.

For the 4 securities transitioning to LT-ASM (Sayaji Industries, Kretto Syscon, Universal Office Automation, Thakral Services India), trading restrictions will be more prolonged and stringent than ST-ASM. The 2 securities moving to ESM (Deccan Polypacks, BLB Ltd) face the most severe surveillance-related trading constraints.

Avanti Feeds Ltd — a well-known aquaculture company — moving to a lower ASM stage is a mildly positive signal, indicating reduced surveillance concern. Overall market impact is moderate, primarily affecting traders in small/mid-cap and SME segments.

Impact Justification

Routine ST-ASM surveillance update affecting 11 newly shortlisted securities including Novartis India Ltd (a notable large-cap). 15 securities exit the framework, several transitioning to LT-ASM or ESM. Trading conditions change for all listed securities effective next trading day.
