Impact Assessment
The impact is routine and incremental. ESOP allotments for ABCAPITAL (9.7 lakh shares) and AXISBANK (2.6 lakh shares) represent minor dilution. JSW Energy’s preferential allotment of ~95.2 lakh shares at Rs. 525 is the most significant addition in volume terms, having been allotted in January 2026. The resolution of 227 ICICI Bank bonus shares held in abeyance since 2017 is negligible. ARIHANTCAP preferential shares remain locked in until September 2027 and will not be available for trading. No unusual market impact is expected.
Impact Justification
Routine further listing notification affecting 9 companies across ESOP allotments, preferential issues, and bonus share abeyance resolution. Includes large-cap names (Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, JSW Energy) but the securities involved are incremental additions rather than material structural changes.
