Impact Assessment

Market Impact: Medium

The demat auction involves a large number of scrips (60+) with significant quantities in some cases:

  • ITC Ltd. (164,800 shares) and Indian Renewable Energy (62,100 shares) represent the largest auction quantities and may see minor price pressure.
  • PADAM COTTON (6,911 shares), OIL AND NATURAL GAS (4,500 shares), and ASHAPURA MINERALS (8,500 shares) also carry notable quantities.
  • Blue-chip stocks like Reliance (10,030), Infosys (2,400), SBI (2,250), and Tata Consultancy (1,400) have moderate quantities unlikely to cause significant price impact given their high liquidity.
  • For small/mid-cap scrips with low liquidity (e.g., SAWACA ENTERPRISES at 50,000 shares, SYSCHEM at 478 shares), auction activity could have a more pronounced short-term price effect.
  • This is a routine operational settlement process; no systemic market risk implied.

Impact Justification

Routine demat auction notice for settlement 827 affecting 60+ scrips across diverse sectors; involves major blue-chip stocks (Reliance, Infosys, ITC, SBI, TCS) with notable quantities, indicating delivery shortfalls requiring auction settlement.
