Impact Assessment

Market Impact: Low - These are routine administrative listings of additional shares from existing listed companies. The shares represent ESOP exercises and preferential allotments, which are standard corporate actions.

Trading Impact: Minimal - All securities have standard market lot of 1 and are pari passu with existing shares. No special trading arrangements required.

Liquidity Impact: Marginal increase in outstanding shares for each company, but volumes are relatively small compared to typical free float.

Investor Impact: No direct impact on existing shareholders beyond normal dilution from ESOP and preferential allotments already disclosed by companies.

Impact Justification

Routine administrative listing of ESOP and preferential allotment shares with minimal market impact; no trading rule changes or new listings.
