Open source pageSummary
Check the official recordThe National Stock Exchange of India updates the list of securities under the Enhanced Surveillance Measure (ESM) framework. Securities in Annexure I move to the Trade-for-Trade segment and attract a 100% margin requirement. Securities in Annexure II exit the framework. Securities that move to Stage II operate under a 2% price band within the Periodic Call Auction. These changes take effect on July 14, 2026, except for Stage II price band adjustments which apply from July 13, 2026. The ESM framework operates alongside other existing surveillance measures. The exchange clarifies that inclusion in the ESM framework results from market surveillance and does not represent adverse action against the listed entities.

Securities qualifying under ESM shall be shifted from Rolling Settlement segment (Series: EQ/SM) to Trade-for-Trade segment (Series: BE/ST) w.e.f. July 14, 2026.
Additionally, securities shifting to Stage II shall be under Trade for Trade with price band of 2% under Periodic Call Auction w.e.f. July 13, 2026.
Market participants may note that the ESM framework shall be in conjunction with all other prevailing surveillance measures being imposed by the Exchanges from time to time.
The Price Band of a scrip moving out of the framework shall be reinstated to the Price Band applicable to that scrip before it got shortlisted under the respective framework. This will be subject to the scrip not being shortlisted or part of any other Surveillance measure, in which case, the price band of the relevant surveillance framework will prevail.
Further, it may also be noted that the shortlisting of securities under ESM is purely on account of market surveillance, and it should not be construed as an adverse action against the concerned company / entity.
