Compliance Requirements

  • Traders and investors in the listed securities must be aware of the enhanced surveillance norms applicable under LT-ASM, which typically include restrictions such as mandatory additional margins, trade-for-trade settlement, or reduced price bands.
  • Brokers must ensure clients trading in these securities are informed of and compliant with the applicable ASM-stage restrictions.
  • No action is required for securities exiting the framework, as none are moving out this cycle.

Important Dates

  • Effective Date: March 12, 2026 – All changes (additions, stage movements, direct placements) come into force.

Impact Assessment

The addition of five securities to the LT-ASM framework and the escalation of two securities to Stage 2 signals increased regulatory scrutiny due to abnormal price/volume movements or other risk indicators. Investors holding these stocks may face higher margins and restricted trading conditions. Titan Biotech Ltd’s direct placement into Stage IV represents the most stringent level of surveillance, significantly limiting trading flexibility. Market participants should review their exposure to all listed securities and prepare for associated compliance obligations effective March 12, 2026.

Impact Justification

Directly affects trading conditions for multiple securities by placing them under enhanced surveillance with stricter trading norms; impacts investors holding or trading these stocks.
