Impact Assessment

This is a routine demat auction notice with low systemic impact. Individual securities listed may experience minor price discovery effects during the auction session. The largest quantities being auctioned—Viram Suvarna (37,000 shares), SBL Infratech (28,800 shares), and Empower India (14,136 shares)—are in relatively low-liquidity scrips, so auction prices may diverge from market prices. Members holding short positions in the listed securities should take note of their obligations. No broader market impact is expected.

Impact Justification

Routine demat auction notice for short delivery settlement; affects 61 securities across various sectors but is a standard market operations process with no systemic significance.
