Impact Assessment
This is a routine operational notice affecting trading members and custodians who have short-delivery obligations in Rolling Settlement DR-609/2026-27. The auction mechanism allows the exchange to source securities that were not delivered by the original sellers. Members with open short-delivery positions must participate or ensure obligations are met. The removal of the restriction on offering in the same settlement where short-delivery occurred provides slightly more flexibility to members. No broad market impact is expected.
Impact Justification
Routine demat auction notice for short-delivered securities in a specific rolling settlement cycle. Operationally important for affected trading members and custodians but not a broad market-wide regulatory change.
