BSE announces lower revision of stages under the Graded Surveillance Measure (GSM) framework for select securities, effective May 11, 2026, following a coordinated review with other exchanges.

Summary

BSE has announced the lower revision of stages under the Graded Surveillance Measure (GSM) framework. Following a coordinated review with other exchanges, select securities have been found eligible to move to lower stages of the GSM framework. This revision is effective from May 11, 2026. The list of eligible securities is provided in the attached Annexure (Annexure_GSM_LOWER).

Key Points

  • Securities eligible for lower GSM stage revision are listed in the attached Annexure_GSM_LOWER
  • The lower revision is effective from May 11, 2026
  • Review was carried out in coordination with other exchanges
  • This circular references the original GSM framework notice no. 20170223-44 dated February 23, 2017
  • Also references update notice no. 20191129-23 dated November 29, 2019
  • Members can refer to BSE FAQs on GSM for clarifications

Regulatory Changes

No new regulatory changes are introduced. This circular implements a periodic review provision already embedded in the existing GSM framework (originally introduced via notice no. 20170223-44 dated February 23, 2017). Securities meeting the criteria have been identified for downward stage movement, reducing surveillance restrictions on those securities.

Compliance Requirements

Important Dates

  • Notice Date: May 8, 2026
  • Effective Date: May 11, 2026 (lower GSM stage revision takes effect)

Impact Assessment

Securities moved to lower GSM stages benefit from reduced trading restrictions, such as relaxed price bands and modified margin requirements. This is a positive development for the affected stocks and their investors, as it signals improved compliance with surveillance criteria. The broader market impact is limited, as this affects only specific securities identified in the Annexure. Trading members should update their systems and client communications accordingly for the securities listed.

Impact Justification

Routine periodic review of GSM stages affecting specific securities; positive development for impacted stocks moving to lower surveillance stages, but limited broad market impact.
