Impact Assessment

The revision of price bands primarily affects retail and institutional traders in these scrips. Tighter bands (2%–5%) restrict volatility for potentially illiquid or surveillance-flagged securities, reducing risk of manipulation. The two scrips with 20% bands (HCKK Ventures, Highness Microelectronics) are given wider latitude, suggesting relaxed surveillance or reclassification. Dish TV and Kirloskar Electric, being larger-cap names, face tighter constraints consistent with their liquidity profiles.
