Regulatory Changes

The ST-ASM framework applies additional surveillance conditions, including higher margin requirements and trade-for-trade settlement obligations, to securities identified as potentially exhibiting abnormal price or volume behavior. This circular updates the list in accordance with BSE’s ongoing market surveillance obligations under SEBI guidelines.

Compliance Requirements

  • Brokers and members must apply the applicable ST-ASM margins and trading restrictions for newly added securities from March 06, 2026
  • Investors holding or trading in affected securities must be aware of enhanced margin requirements under the ST-ASM framework
  • Securities exiting ST-ASM but entering LT-ASM (Golechha Global Finance, Vanta Bioscience) or ESM (Laddu Gopal Online Services) remain under surveillance — members must apply the relevant framework rules accordingly

Important Dates

  • Effective Date: March 06, 2026 — all additions, removals, and stage changes take effect
  • Circular Date: March 05, 2026

Impact Assessment

Traders and investors in the 8 newly added securities will face increased margin requirements and potential trading restrictions under the ST-ASM framework starting March 06, 2026. Notably, Tejas Networks Ltd (a relatively large-cap technology company) being added is significant and may draw wider market attention. The 9 securities exiting ST-ASM provide some relief to their holders, though 3 of them are transitioning to stricter surveillance frameworks (LT-ASM or ESM), meaning trading restrictions may persist or intensify for those scrips.

Impact Justification

ST-ASM inclusion imposes trading restrictions and additional margins on affected securities, directly impacting investors and traders holding or planning to trade these stocks. Eight new securities are being added, affecting multiple listed companies.
