Compliance Requirements

  • Traders and brokers must note enhanced surveillance conditions applicable to each GSM stage before executing trades in these securities
  • Higher GSM stages impose stricter trading restrictions, including trade-to-trade settlement, price limits, and mandatory additional margins
  • Investors holding these securities should be aware of the reduced liquidity and stricter trading norms now applicable
  • Market participants are advised to refer to BSE’s GSM framework circular for stage-specific restrictions

Important Dates

  • Effective Date: March 11, 2026 — securities moved into their respective GSM stages

Impact Assessment

The placement of 10 securities under GSM will significantly affect their trading conditions. Stage IV placement of Foundry Fuel Products Ltd represents the most severe level of surveillance, typically involving trade-to-trade settlement and stringent price bands, which will sharply curtail liquidity. The 6 securities at Stage I will face moderately enhanced surveillance conditions. Inland Printers Ltd’s Stage 0 placement reflects its concurrent ESM inclusion, suggesting broader regulatory concerns about the stock. Retail and institutional investors in these securities face increased transaction costs and reduced market depth. The ESM-GSM overlap for Inland Printers indicates escalating regulatory scrutiny.

Impact Justification

GSM placement directly restricts trading conditions for affected securities, impacting investors and market participants holding these stocks. Stage IV placement (Foundry Fuel Products) represents the most severe restriction level.
