Impact Assessment

The tightening of price bands restricts the permissible intraday price movement for these 16 scrips. Scrips placed under a 2% band face the most restrictive trading conditions, limiting daily price movement to ±2%, which can significantly reduce liquidity and price discovery. This is consistent with BSE’s Additional Surveillance Measure (ASM) or Graded Surveillance Measure (GSM) framework aimed at protecting investors from abnormal price volatility. Traders and investors in these scrips should exercise caution and may face difficulty exiting large positions quickly due to reduced circuit limits.

Impact Justification

Routine surveillance-driven price band revisions affecting 16 mid/small-cap scrips; tightened bands restrict intraday volatility but do not indicate systemic market risk.
