Securities in Annexure I attract a 100 percent margin requirement starting October 19, 2026. These securities move from the Rolling Settlement segment to the Trade-for-Trade segment on the same date. Securities in Annexure II exit the framework. Securities that move to Stage II enter the Trade-for-Trade segment with a 2 percent price band under Periodic Call Auction starting October 16, 2026. This framework applies in addition to other existing surveillance measures. The selection of securities results from market surveillance and does not represent adverse action against the companies.

- Shift securities qualifying under ESM from Rolling Settlement segment to Trade-for-Trade segment effective October 19, 2026.
