Impact Assessment

Minimal market impact. This is a standard administrative action for listing additional shares issued under ESOP schemes. The number of shares being listed represents a small fraction of the outstanding equity for these large and mid-cap companies. No price adjustments, trading restrictions, or material corporate actions are involved. Trading will continue normally with these additional shares in the market lot.

Impact Justification

Routine administrative listing of ESOP allotments with minimal market impact; no material changes to trading parameters or corporate actions affecting broader market participants
