The National Stock Exchange of India updates the list of securities under the Enhanced Surveillance Measure (ESM) framework. Securities listed in Annexure I move into the framework and attract a 100 percent margin requirement. These securities shift from the Rolling Settlement segment to the Trade-for-Trade segment effective September 08, 2026. Securities listed in Annexure II move out of the framework. Securities shifting to Stage II move to the Trade-for-Trade segment with a 2 percent price band under Periodic Call Auction effective September 07, 2026. The ESM framework operates alongside other existing surveillance measures. This action results from market surveillance and does not represent an adverse action against the affected companies.
