Impact Assessment
This is a routine operational circular with minimal market impact. The newly listed ESOP/ESOS shares represent incremental additions to each company’s existing public float. For large-cap companies such as ICICI Bank (scrip code 532174) and Wipro (507685), the additions are negligible relative to their total outstanding shares. Bajaj Finserv’s addition of 2.74 million shares is the largest by count but remains immaterial relative to its total share capital. No price-sensitive information is contained in this notice. Traders and investors should note that these shares become available for trading from February 24, 2026.
Impact Justification
Routine ESOP/ESOS listing notice covering 16 companies with no lock-in restrictions. Incremental share additions relative to existing float are minimal for most companies; largest absolute addition is Bajaj Finserv (2.74 million shares). No regulatory changes or compliance obligations introduced.
