The additions represent routine dilution from employee compensation plans. Given the large existing float of most companies listed (particularly ICICI Bank, Federal Bank, and SBI Life), the incremental share counts are negligible and are unlikely to cause any material price or liquidity impact.
Impact Justification
Routine ESOP/ESOS listing notice covering 12 companies with no lock-in restrictions; incremental share additions are small relative to existing float and represent standard employee benefit plan share issuances with minimal market impact.
