Summary

NSE’s Listing Department (Circular Ref. No. 0706/2026, Download Ref. NSE/CML/73953) notifies the suspension of trading in 9 privately placed Non-Convertible Securities effective April 30, 2026.

• All suspensions are due to redemption (maturity) of the respective instruments

• The circular is addressed to all NSE members
• Issued under Regulation 3.1.2 of NSE Debt Market (Trading) Regulations Part A

Affected Securities

Regulatory Changes

No new regulatory changes introduced. The suspensions are executed under the existing framework of Regulation 3.1.2 of the NSE Debt Market (Trading) Regulations Part A, which governs suspension of trading in debt instruments upon maturity or redemption.

Compliance Requirements

• NSE members must ensure no trading orders are placed for the listed ISINs from April 30, 2026 onwards
• Members should inform their clients holding these instruments about the upcoming trading suspension and redemption
• Settlement of any pending trades in these securities must be completed prior to the suspension date

Important Dates

• April 29, 2026: Circular issued
• April 30, 2026: Effective suspension date for all 9 NCS instruments

Impact Assessment

The impact is confined to holders of these specific debt instruments in the NSE debt market segment. Since all suspensions are redemption-driven, investors will receive the principal repayment at maturity — this is a standard lifecycle event and does not indicate financial distress. Shillong Jorabat Expressway Limited’s 6 simultaneous redemptions suggest a cluster of bonds from the same series reaching maturity together. HDFC Bank and Power Grid Corporation of India Limited are large, investment-grade issuers; their individual NCS redemptions carry no systemic risk. Overall market impact is low.

Impact Justification

Routine redemption-driven trading suspension of 9 NCS instruments across 4 issuers effective April 30, 2026. Impacts existing NCS holders in the debt segment but represents an expected lifecycle event with no broader market disruption.
