Impact Assessment

The suspension affects holders and traders of these two specific UPPCL NCD series. As both instruments are approaching maturity (9.70% series maturing 30-Mar-2026 and 9.95% series maturing 31-Mar-2026), the trading suspension is a routine pre-redemption measure. Impact is limited to participants in the BSE debt segment holding or intending to trade these instruments. No broader market impact is anticipated.

Impact Justification

Routine suspension of trading ahead of NCD redemption and interest payment for two debenture series of a state power utility; affects only holders of these specific debt instruments.
