BSE updates the list of securities under the Enhanced Surveillance Measure (ESM) framework. Certain securities move to Stage I or exit the framework effective August 12, 2026. Securities qualifying for the measure shift from the Rolling Settlement segment to the Trade-for-Trade segment effective August 13, 2026. These securities attract a minimum 100% margin on all open and new positions from August 13, 2026. Securities moving to Stage II operate under a 2% price band and Periodic Call Auction effective August 12, 2026. The exchange reviews these securities periodically. This framework operates alongside other existing surveillance measures. The shortlisting of securities is a surveillance action and not an adverse action against the company.
