Summary

BSE has announced the movement of 6 securities into their respective Graded Surveillance Measure (GSM) stages effective March 13, 2026. The GSM framework is designed to alert and protect investors from securities that exhibit abnormal price movements or low fundamentals. Two securities move to GSM Stage III (highest restriction), two to Stage II, and one to Stage I.

Key Points

  • 6 securities are being moved into GSM stages under this circular
  • GSM Stage I: 1 security — Jayatma Industries Ltd (BSE: 531323, ISIN: INE250D01017)
  • GSM Stage II: 3 securities — VK Global Industries Ltd (BSE: 530177), Golechha Global Finance Ltd (BSE: 531360), ANS Industries Ltd (BSE: 531406)
  • GSM Stage III: 2 securities — Oswal Yarns Ltd (BSE: 514460), Iykot Hitech Toolroom Ltd (BSE: 522245)
  • Securities marked (#) move lower in GSM Framework due to inclusion in ESM Framework
  • Securities marked ($) move lower in GSM Framework due to inclusion in IBC Framework
  • Stage classifications are cross-referenced with NSE data where applicable

Regulatory Changes

The GSM framework applies progressive trading restrictions based on stage:

  • Stage I: Trade-to-trade settlement; periodic call auction intervals
  • Stage II: Additional price movement restrictions and margin requirements
  • Stage III: Severe trading restrictions including possible suspension from normal market trading; trades only in periodic call auction sessions

Securities placed under GSM are subject to enhanced surveillance and investor alerts on BSE trading terminals.

Compliance Requirements

  • Brokers/Members: Must ensure clients are informed of GSM status for the listed securities before executing trades
  • Investors: Advised to exercise caution and conduct due diligence before trading in GSM-listed securities
  • Listed Companies: May be required to provide additional disclosures or clarifications to the exchange as part of the surveillance process
  • All trades in GSM securities must comply with the applicable stage-specific settlement and margin requirements

Important Dates

  • Effective Date: March 13, 2026 — securities move into their respective GSM stages

Impact Assessment

High impact on retail and institutional investors holding or trading the 6 affected securities:

  • Trading in GSM Stage II and III securities is significantly restricted, reducing liquidity
  • Oswal Yarns Ltd and Iykot Hitech Toolroom Ltd (Stage III) face the most severe trading constraints
  • Increased margin requirements may force existing position holders to provide additional funds
  • GSM classification acts as a public warning signal, typically leading to reduced investor interest and further price pressure
  • Market makers and arbitrageurs may exit these securities, further reducing liquidity
  • Companies affected may face reputational impact and difficulty raising capital during the GSM period

Impact Justification

GSM placement imposes significant trading restrictions on affected securities, directly impacting investors and listed companies. Movement into GSM stages III implies severe restrictions, while stages I and II also carry notable trading limitations.
